Re: String Quartets
Here's my mildly spruced up version of the currently circulating Mosolov String Quartet Op24 scan.

Thanks Jim, that's a marked improvement. My scan had way too much black space in it, which made it murderous to printer cartridges everywhere.

If people need it... I've personally learned from my past sins and at least attempt to crop away the bulk of negative space that the scanner produces.rob wrote:Should we have a thread somewhere to give editing/processing tips for scanned images?caostotale wrote:Thanks Jim, that's a marked improvement.

Re: String Quartets
Here's a quartet from the republic of Georgia that's not owned by Ted Turner. Alongside Tsintsadze, Nasidze is one of that region's finest string quartet composers. This piece (and quite a few others) can be streamed for free at the following excellent website:

Sulkhan Ivanovich NASIDZE
String Quartet no. 1 (1968)

Re: String Quartets
Hello everyone,
I was told that there were arrangements of Chopin Nocturnes and Preludes for String Quartet.
So far I only found a string quintet version of Nocturne op. 27 No. 2, on IMSLP.
Are there any more?
Thanks for your help.

Re: String Quartets
Here's a quartet by Oleg Eiges. He only composed two of these during his career, comparably few next to the piles of symphonies and piano sonatas:
Oleg Konstantinovich EIGES
String Quartet [no. 1?] (1947, published 1975)
Oleg Konstantinovich EIGES
String Quartet [no. 1?] (1947, published 1975)

Re: String Quartets
...and a short work by a Ukrainian composer. Znosko-Borovsky studied at the Music School in Kiev until 1927 and with Revutsky at the Kiev Music and Drama Institute until 1932. Later, he worked for Kiev Film Studio from 1931-1941 and as a music editor from 1945-1968. He composed quite a bit of music for strings, including three numbered quartets and several pieces for larger ensembles:
Aleksander Fyodorovich ZNOSKO-BOROVSKY
Suite, for string quartet, op. 56 (1959); 1. Prelude, 2. Invention, 3. Interlude, 4. Scherzino, 5. Postlude
Aleksander Fyodorovich ZNOSKO-BOROVSKY
Suite, for string quartet, op. 56 (1959); 1. Prelude, 2. Invention, 3. Interlude, 4. Scherzino, 5. Postlude

Re: String Quartets
Here's a solid example of music that is clearly a product of the Soviet state's strong emphasis on exploring national folk musics. I've not found any information on Birnov, but a library search finds his name attached to this and a number of other folk collections covering nationalities from all over the USSR's territory. The Pamiri people are an Indo-European ethnicity who live in the eastern mountains of modern-day Tajikistan (the region called Gorno-Badakhshan) and in the northeastern 'arm' of Afghanistan. Today they number about 350,000:
Lev Markovich BIRNOV
Pamiri Sketches, for string quartet; 1. Hafiz Song, 2. In the Shade of Plane Trees, 3. Round Dance
