Invention, a curious conundrum for string quartet

Title: Invention, a curious conundrum for string quartet

Composer: David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2; Viola; Cello

Printout: 9 pages including title page

Note: This piece was composed while I was working on transcriptions of music by Bach and Corelli (whose purported student Bonporti invented the term “invenzione”), and some elements of their contrapuntal styles crept into the otherwise neo-jazz/ragtime score.
