The whole movement is made from quotes! There's the Ravel and Debussy string quartets (4:38), and Mozart 387, but also three of Shaw's pieces: Punctum, Valencia, and Entr'acte.
I love this piece (and this recording) so much. It’s no surprise Caroline is a very competent string player herself… the way she uses color in this work is just so beautiful, intuitive, and precise. In fact, I learn more about string writing by studying her scores than I do from the likes of Lachenmann and Ferneyhough.
so beautiful. the herbaceous border has got to be my favorite movement. i love the soaring melody in the violins and the glissando later on is brilliant.
With love from Dumbarton, Scotland. Thankyou EK and Caroline. We took a lidar and modelled the Cadzow Oaks not far from Dumbarton.....Attacca..........
I guess everybody has different reactions to music. I love the amount of life, drama, emotion, and tranquillity in this piece. I cried during the last movement
Love the polyrhythm at 2:56-3:08. I also love the subtle call to Ravel's string quartet at 4:29, I was not at all expecting that.
I thought the same thing! Very subtle reference but it was really satisfying to recognize it
Yes, I also like the nod to the opening of Mozart's string quartet in G, K. 387 at 4:55.

@@kit.mccarthyAh, so that’s why it’s called “The Cutting Garden” she cut out some of her favorite snippets of the music she either played or composed.

I think this is my favourite piece ever
Ravel is that you ?

Gorgeous textures and tensions.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece. Really great to see the score.

a bit melodramatic

4.29 quoting Debussy…
Not melodramatic _enough_ !
