String Quartet in D (1913): III. Scherzo by José Ignacio Quintón (1881-1925)

String Quartet in D (1913): III. Scherzo José Ignacio Quintón (1881-1925) AGAVE Anna Washburn and Aaron Westman, violins Katherine Kyme, viola William Skeen, cello Son of a Puerto Rican woman and a French organist and composer who trained at the Paris Conservatory of Music, José Ignacio Quintón grew up in Coamo, where he studied with his father and later with the Spanish pianist and organist Ernesto del Castillo. By the age of nine, he was performing professionally, and enjoyed success as a band leader, organist, chamber musician, composer, and teacher before his untimely death at the age of 44. His surviving output includes a Requiem Mass, orchestral music, a number of chamber works, and solo piano pieces. However, he is most notably remembered for his Danzas - a uniquely Puerto Rican folk genre which he elevated to the same poetic level that Chopin did with the humble waltz. His String Quartet in D (1913), the only one he wrote, shows his mastery of both the European romantic style as well as his innate rhythmic flair and vitality. -Henry Lebedinsky Recorded live at the Whidbey Island Music Festival, June 22, 2025 as part of the program "Distant Shores".
