The seventh string quartet is for four violas. Here’s the beginning of the second movement, based on a theme I heard in a dream. In the dream, I was singing it with these words: “Oh, dear, you’ll never understand; you’ll keep on for that undiscovered land.” I suppose that is what I do. If this musical scrap is due to cryptamnesia, or to a neighbor’s radio, I apologize to all concerned. When I woke up, I wrote it down, added a counter-melody, and then developed it into a four-part round.
