Extra Information Composer's comment: "The five movements of the Mosaic Quartet may be played in any desired order. One suggested way of performance is to alternate movements as follows: I-II-I-III-IV-III-V-IV-V-I-II-III-IV-V — but any other succession is equally valid. Each movement must be understood as being a unit within the total mosaic pattern of the form."
