Composer's note: “Spring begins slowly as the elements prepare to burgeon with life. The following rhythmic pattern in D major is sprightly and irregular, everything in different stages of growth. Summer is more insistent, more intense. In this movement, the repetitive piano chords are featured and represent an unceasing build-up of heat. Autumn is a thoughtful time. G minor envelops the strings with long held notes, the piano with arpeggiated chords. Winter conjures a drained and vacant landscape which is nevertheless full of promise. The movement begins with a solo viola introducing a searching melody in E minor. The cello enters with a tentative plucked accompaniment. The harmony oscillates between two main chords creating a sense of stillness that is also expectant." Elena Kats-Chernin
