While the composer began the work as one movement in 1979, he completed it in four movements in 2013. The completed version was first performed at the Gasteig in Munich on 9 February 2014. History, structure and musicWhile still at Highgate School, Waterhouse intended to compose a string sextet, following models such as the first String Sextet by Brahms. He composed one movement which was performed for a school music competition. It was the first work he found worthy of an opus number.[1] The Boulez pupil and scholar Susan Bradshaw commented: "while searching for an independent voice, it still didn't sound like anyone else".[1] A second movement was begun in 1983 as part of university studies in fugue. The third movement was conceived on a trip to Czechoslovakia and Poland in the mid-1980s. The fourth movement was begun at the same time and is based on a theme from Macedonia. Both the third and the fourth movement were completed in 2013, 34 years after the beginning of the work.[1] The work for two violins, two violas and two cellos is in four movements:[1]
The second movement, marked "Adagio fanatico", is a fugue which follows Baroque forms but uses a "slightly abrasive, modal harmonic language".[1] PerformancesThe first movement was performed again at chamber concert at Cambridge University in 1982.[1] The completed version was first performed at the Gasteig in Munich on 9 February 2014 in a program of chamber music by Mozart and Waterhouse, with the members of the Munich Philharmonic and the composer as the cellist.[7] The UK premiere was played on 1 May 2016 as part of the Whittall Barn Concert Series by the Anern Trio and the Waterhouse Trio, along with the string trios Zeichenstaub and Epitaphium.[9] References1. ^1 {{cite web| url = http://www.lisaueda.com/#!diary/c5ui| title = Sextet & Trio Concert in Gloucestershire / featuring Anern Trio + Waterhouse Trio| year = 2016| publisher = Lisa Ueda| accessdate = 5 May 2016}} [1][2][3]2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web| url = http://www.arbc.de/Waterhouse/sextet.htm| title = Sextet| year = 2013| publisher = Graham Waterhouse| accessdate = 25 April 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite web| url = https://www.gasteig.de/veranstaltungen-und-tickets/veranstaltungen/kammermusik-von-mozart-und-waterhouse.html,v26485| title = Kammermusik von Mozart und Waterhouse| year = 2014| publisher = Gasteig| accessdate = 25 April 2016}} }} External links
