Tweak Tweak

In the last 48 hours I have found a handful of small revisions to the string quartet - a bar here, a bar there - that smooth out a few wrinkles where I have had just too much repetition in some of the inner parts or not enough variety in the modulations. It is a fine line to balance repetition - effective when used judiciously - with the ear's need for refreshment and variety. I was tinkering away until about 7pm on New Year's Eve and all day today New Year's Day. Obsessive.
