The Vernal Equinox was written for the Quatour Diotima. The first performance was given by the Quatuor Diotima in York, UK on 19 February 2013.
I have once listened to the recording of Carter's String Quartet No.5 (1995). I immediately fell in love with the sound world that he created towards the end of the masterpiece. Here, in my own quartet The Vernal Equinox, I try to imitate that particular passage of high pitches with harmonics, and with my own creativity, I have created three contrasted sections. The form of this 9 minute piece though is borrowed from the last movement of Schubert's Piano Sonata in A, D959. It follows loosely the Classcical style of Rondo, A B A C A B, and end with a mysterious Coda.
