Piano Quartet (Walton)

The Piano Quartet in D minor by English composer William Walton was completed in 1919 when he was only 16 years old.[1][2] Scored for piano, violin, viola, and cello, Walton later revised the work in 1921, 1955, and 1974-1975. It was first performed in Liverpool on September 19, 1924.[3]

Structure

The work is in four movements:

  1. Allegramente
  2. Allegro scherzando
  3. Andante tranquillo
  4. Allegro molto

A typical performance of the quartet takes around 30 minutes.[3]

Notable recordings
gollark: C has more low-level stuff you probably don't want to bother with if doing a build script; Python has useful high level features like "working strings".
gollark: I disagree with that, actually.
gollark: It also took something like 10% of the time to write, which is good.
gollark: - unbee python- the osmarkspythonbuildsystem™ functions/variables, to the extent that they exist, constitute an "embedded domain specific language"- Python is more featureful than Dale syntax, however- well, mine does it seminonawfully, if you don't mind its complete lack of job throttling
gollark: Via parser combinators, I can define *exactly* what I want and easily parse it, unless it involves left recursion in which case aææææßæææaæææaaaaæææææææ.
