| Sumario: | As a body of work, Ferneyhough's string quartets offer a panorama of his entire compositional career to date, including his first (unpublished) engagement with the genre in the early 1960s. This article examines his approach to the medium, drawing on sketch materials and charting the development of his style, his relationship to the quartet tradition and contextualising the quartet in relation to wider trends in his œuvre. Theoretical perspectives, including an evaluation of Ferneyhough's relationship to language, Adorno and Schoenberg, are also explored. |
