Microtonal String Quartet

Hello!  I've been taking short respites from my next big variations project with some short pieces.  This piece is one of those.  It's my first attempt at using microtones.  I'm just using 24TET and the piece is mostly conceived as a regular tonal piece of music with microtonal embellishments.  I wrote it for string quartet since in such a chamber work for strings, microtones, I think, are the easiest to execute accurately.  Let me know what you think, as I would appreciate any suggestions, critiques or even just observations!  Thanks for listening.

Edit:  I've added a 2nd movement entitled Scherzo - Pizzicato Ostinato.

Hey Peter,

Microtones are never in my likings, but I like how motivically tight it is in your piece. It’s like I’ m listening to a modern Schoenberg! Thx for sharing.

Hey Peter,

I like the 2nd movement! For me this one sounds like Bartok-- the famous pizzicato movement of his String Quartet no.4, but yours is more exotic when microtones are introduced! I just hope the Scherzo would be much longer haha. I love those faxbourdon parallels in b.4-5 and 8-11. Thx for adding a new movement!
