Summary Extended Description Audio Sample   CMP 1032 String quartet. Grade 5. Approx. duration: thirteen and a half minutes. Set includes score and four parts. The name, “Grotesque Quartet,” references the gloomy and extravagant character of its four movements. Composed almost at the same time as the music for a theatrical adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray, the grotesque plot of Wilde’s novel was also an inspiration for this composition. In spite of the titles for each movement (Tenebrous, Ludicrous, Mysterious and Anxious), there is no plot or underlying script; rather, each title simply refers to a concept or idea with which the composer is able to describe the character of each movement.
