Claude Debussy’s String Quartet in G minor, Op. 10 may be a staple of the chamber music repertoire, but it is about to enter our repertoire for the first time – and we’re inviting you into the process of learning such a resplendent, historic, and at times intimidating piece.
For this first Floating Lounge of 2021, we’re taking the wheel and steering you through the sights and sounds that we’re looking to for inspiration as we find our own voice with this monumental score. We’ll share an exemplary recording or two of it, for sure, but perhaps more intriguingly, we’ll reveal less obvious sources of motivation that will inform our eventual interpretation.
Watch and listen as four independent musicians – yours truly – hoist a compelling collection of varying sonic reference points into the creative cauldron…and discover what rises to the surface.
