String Quartet No.7, Solitari, is a dramatic piece written during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. It is divided in five sections: a slow-paced Lontano, characterized by high-register chords (played in harmonics); a faster Scherzando Imperioso; a pensive adagio movement, Memories; the fastest Agitato; and finally, a slow section that replays the opening chords of Lontano (now in a low register), and a distilled version of one of the main motives of the piece. Solitari is as an asynchronous composition, in which the players are not required to play notes according to their vertical alignment in the score. The motivation for the piece arose as a response to shelter-in-place directives, which prevent ensemble players from rehearsing and performing together. To solve the problem of retaining coordination among players, the piece rotates a lead (the solitario) who serves as a point of reference.
