Koan is based on a very simple ascending line for violin, a piece of the same name written in 1971 for violin solo as one of Tenney's Postal Pieces, a series of visionary masterpieces, each notated on a postcard. The quartet version of Koan harmonises this ascending line, thus creating a stunning and beautiful process composition.
The Quatuor Bozzini recently recorded on collection qb label the complete string quartets and quintets of James Tenney which will be launched at the HCMF. Featuring some of these works, the 3 concerts represent the largest Tenney retrospective outside North America in the recent years.
"In a concert featuring the Bozzini Quartet, Tenney's specialists, the composer's ideas are engagingly performed." (Los Angeles Times)
