Recognized as America's leading woman composer in
the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Amy Beach (1867-1944) belonged
to the Second New England School of composers. Her one-movement Quartet,
a lean yet lyrical work of great originality, incorporates Alaskan Inuit
melodies as thematic material. Completed in 1929, the Quartet was one of
Beach's few unpublished works. This edition, which includes a facsimile
of the 1921 draft score, makes the work available for the first time. This
is the second printing with corrections of this edition.
