Overall good condition. First Edition. Rare 4 copies only located in OCLC.<br/><br/>Composed 1928; premiered in Saratoga Springs NY at the Yaddo Festival in 1935 by Walden String Quartet.<br/><br/>"Although he is probably best known for his tape and electronic music much of Otto Luening's output consists of solo and chamber music for traditional instrumental combinations. There are more than 40 orchestral works 50 songs the opera Evangeline the oratorio No Jerusalem But This and music for plays. The threads that run through the almost mind-boggling diversity of Luening's work are the solidity of his knowledge and technique his use of a harmonic practice derived from the overtones of the harmonic series and above all the strength of his wit. A dry and sophisticated humor is an important part of Luening's personality and a strong component of his teaching technique; it is also a major and often overlooked quality of his music. <br/><br/>"The string quartet no. 3 was composed in 1928 and is dedicated to the arts administrator Oliver Daniel who with Luening and Douglas Moore co-founded CRI in 1954. It is a more original and exuberant work with strong tonal elements and a clear elegant form. There are three movements: a "sonata" with themes and development that is followed without pause by a charming and surprising pastorale in F and a finale which is typically for a composer who can never sit still made up of 21 suave and witty variations on a twelve-tone theme."
