This composer used arch form for his fourth string quartet, which contains two movements representative of his style of (*) “night music” and one played entirely using his namesake “snap pizzicato.” (10[1])“Six Dances (20[1])in (10[1])Bulgarian Rhythm” ends this composer’s collection of 153 progressively harder piano pieces.
