An excerpt from a CD booklet about Ives' Scherzo for string quartet
"The Scherzo for string quartet (1903-04) is a spoof, one of the little experimental pieces in which Ives tried out new techniques 'half in fun, half serious.'...The slower Trio is a study in combining different divisions of the measure, starting with four against six and working up to two against nine against sixteen."
Oh Ives, you crazy kid.
Um...after reading that I really want to play this piece. Anybody else up for it?
