I have added five more string quartets to the String Quartets page (numbers 20 to 23a). Listen to them here.

Quartets numbers 20 to 23a (please forgive the quirky counting: I had already embarked upon number 24 which is a separate piece and will appear at some stage) are all written with the time signature 12-8, which was something of an experiment. The four compound beats are treated quite differently in each, because of the different tempi, but I wanted to explore how much variety I could get in!
