Description
Work commissioned by L'Auditori de Barcelona / Biennal Internacional de Quartets de Corda de Barcelona 2020.
The world premiere of String Quartet No. 1 took place in L'Auditori de Barcelona by Cosmos Quartet, at the concert of September 18, 2022, closing the II International Biennial of String Quartets.
The Rumbau's first string quartet navigates between two antagonistic conceptions regarding the perception of musical time: a more directional and “chronometric” conception based on processes of temporal contraction and dilation, and another based on more static sound spaces where time seems to paralyze giving passage to a more “vertical” perception of time. These two conceptions of time cohere thanks to the same apparently past material; However, the filter of microtonality turns this material into a foreign body where tradition emerges as a distant and unreal cloud.
