Jeffrey James on Lawrence Dillon's Quartet # 3:

>This 10-minute work was completed in 2004 and follows the composer's

>of flying.

TEN MINUTES?  Its an overture disguised as a string quartet unless each
of those minutes has crammed into it at least at least 3 to 4 minute's
worth of great musical content.  In that case the composer has done a
great musical service to the discerning but busy listener.  Mr.  Dillon
may be the anti-Morton Feldman.
