Marketing Advice


The people flock to Tchaikovsky

Aren’t eager to hear Lutoslawski.

And He Scores!!!!


For his String Quartet, Lutosławski had produced only the four instrumental parts, refusing to bind them in a full score, because he was concerned that this would imply that he wanted notes in vertical alignment to coincide, as is the case with conventionally notated classical ensemble music. – Wikipedia


Lutoslawski, who sought to enhance

His scores through the workings of chance,

Remarked, “You can bet

That my new string quartet

Will never be used for the dance."
