About that string quartet . . .

I finished it.  There are just three movements.  (Most string quartets have four movements, I read, but I'm not cruel.)

• The first movement is here; I have not made very many changes since I put up a link on this blog a few weeks ago.
• The second movement is here (second movement); lots of changes were made, but if you're checking this out for the first time, you won't notice any of them.  There is a sort of refrain between various segments, which I am sort of planning to take out.  Just one of them (the third) is nice, and I might keep that...  I did orchestrate it for a small orchestra, and it sounds lovely, which is probably a big indictment on the quartet movement.
• The third movement is here (third movement), in a sort of rondo form.  It has a speed (tempo) indication of Presto, which is very fast.  I don't think most professional string quartets can play it that fast, so it's going to be essentially allegro.

Added later: here's a video of the whole thing.

Just in case you were wondering: I did set the last movement going at M-M ♩=200, which is fast.  Here it is, if you're interested.  Try and relax.  By the way, it sounds as if the music is getting faster and faster, but I'm fairly sure it keeps a steady pace, because, after all, the music is played mechanically by a program.  (There is a complicated way to verify whether the music is speeding up, but I haven't tried that approach yet.)
