Note from the composer:
Quartet on the Roof is a "late early work,” commissioned in 1990 by the Northwest Indiana Chamber Players for a concert highlighting Jewish and jazz music. The instrumentation presented to me (clarinet, violin, ‘cello and piano) provided great potential for an entertaining, Klezmer-based satire, replete with the ‘cello’s “walking bass.” While I was already an experienced, and frequently performed, composer for the orchestra by that point, "Quartet on the Roof" marks my first venture into writing chamber music. It was a deeply nostalgic experience to revisit this piece, some 30 years later, through these wonderful and charismatic Random Access Music players. ~ Dalit Warshaw, New York, 2020
