About

An original composition for string quartet long in the making, Variations on a Baroque Theme takes a melody I composed way back in high school in 2014, and turns it into seven unique variations, using both the standard toolbox of musical development tools (inversion, retrograde, fragmentation, tempo) and different styles and genres (Latin 5/4, Russian canon, cinematic march).
