Premiere
Posted by Simon Oswell [] on 9 April, 2016
The 2nd quartet was commissioned and premiered at the Adelaide Festival in March 1980 by the Petra String Quartet, of which I was a member (violist). The 1st quartet was also on the programme. This should be noted because no information seems to exist about this..
