Product Description
A new string quartet in the classical style, with heavy metal and gypsy violin influences. Rather than follow "new music trends" in classical music, the composer's aim was to create something influenced by the music he likes - Beethoven, Vivaldi, European folk music, and heavy metal. Instead of (to some, unpleasant-sounding) extended techniques, dissonant harmonies, and lack of clear rhythms and melodies, Schwarz has "modernized" his classical music with driving rhythms and "harmony guitar" influences of heavy metal, while still attempting to feature elements of true classical music such as counterpoint, development, chamber music dialogue, and forms such as sonata-allegro, scherzo, and rondo. Something you can enjoy at first listen but still get more out of with repeated attention.
