I could arrange the rest of the Guitar Quartet for piano in a weekend, have me my first Piano Quartet in A Major, and have a much fuller sound, but I'll get to that eventually...this is a very recent piece, this past December and first week of January.

I have a kind of personal "program" for the first and second movements, that I came up with long after the quartet was written!  The first movement is a conversation between me and Dmitri Shostakovich, with Beethoven and Brahms politely listening, and Antonin Dvorak keeps bursting in the door drunk, whistling his latest theme!

The second movement, Courante and Fugue, is even funnier:  the Courante sounds to me like the barrel organ is out of tune at the carnival, and the fugue sounds as if Beethoven, whilst sketching out a fugal section in his late quartets, was even drunker than usual...
