For the 10th Composer Quest quest, I challenge you to write a piece of music for string quartet inspired by autumn. You have until September 1st to send me your composition (charlie@composerquest.com), and the best string quartets will be performed at the Underground Music Cafe on September 21st at 6pm. In this quest announcement episode, I pull out my dusty violin and give a few tips on writing for strings.

Surely you mean a piece of music for string quartet instrumentation and not literally a string quartet, right? In only a couple weeks, I don’t think a lot of people will be able to turn in four complete movements.
Yes, thanks for clarifying. Are you going to be working on a piece, Mr. Wilson?
I have something in mind, yes.
