You're doing this backwards! If there's time left over ( and there NEVER is) then listen to music written before you were born. Would you like to listen to chamber music? Listen to Cartridge Music by John Cage and David Tudor. Try Black Angels for amplified string quartet by George Crumb, one of his two good pieces. Try The music of Philip Glass, which is almost all for his chamber ensemble. Try the music of Steve Reich, likewise, Paul Dresher's string quartet 1983, Seasons for string quartet of John Cage, Laurie anderson's music for chamber electronics, Schoenberg's quartets, including the one with soprano, Ives second string quartet which is wonderful as old as it is, Synchronisms by Davidovsky for tape and solos (each synchronism is for a different solo, piano, voice, etc.), The piece for voice and string quartet by Joan Labarbara and Morton Subotnik, (1985), Music for four computers by Automatic Music Composers (name?), my flute quartet, sax quartet, flute duets, clarinet duets, Anton Webern's works for string quartet and the 'cello and piano pieces, Harvey Sollberger's flute quartet, ....

>..Schoenberg's quartets, including the one with soprano..
Yes, the one with the mysterious "Transport" in the last movement.
Does anyone know of any recent or planned recordings of this mystical
composition (or Schoenberg's other quartets)?
