Quartet No. 1, Op. 7

from: A. Schoenberg (1874-1951)

Originally for string quartet, in one movement, 1,320 measures long. We have broken it up, as have some performers, into four sections. The entire first section was adapted for alto recorder. In the following three sections the attempt was made to be as true to the original register as possible, so they entail switches between all the recorder family from bass up to sopranino.
