I wrote a string quartet

Here’s my newly published short octatonic piece for string quartet. I intend to write two more in the future so that’s why it’s movement one.

I guess the nice thing about writing something not tonal is that you can kind of plop the notes down without worrying about voice leading. It was still pretty tedious navigating Musescore and everything, especially if you’re on a laptop. If you’re going to write music digitally it’s advisable to get a big screen and a mouse. It makes a world of a difference.

Lastly, I think the Musescore playback system will have untold effects on my composition style, especially for instruments that I am not familiar with.

Anyway, here is the Musescore Link. (updated 11/25/2023)
