String Quartet No. 1 (B18) was completed in April 1987, slightly revised for publication in 1994 with a few further revisions made for recording by the Lochrian Ensemble in 2007. The four movements follow the Classical pattern; the first movement, Sostenuto - allegro is followed by a scherzo (allegro molto, in 7/4), an adagio (also in 7/4) and a finale (allegro molto). The balance of the movements, however, differs in that the first and last movements are concertante movements for cello and first violin respectively; the argument of the third movement is largely made up of a "love duet" between the second violin and the viola, where the other two instruments have a mainly accompanying rôle, and only the scherzo has an equal balance between the forces.
The sound sample is the second movement - performed by the Lochrian Ensemble The complete 6 string quartets performed by the Lochrian Ensemble are available on itunes and Amazon: see: http://www.dwsolo.com/colinbayliss/ and for this quartet: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/colin-bayliss-string-quartet/id573539633
