Hahahaha, just imagine laying down a few grooves from Carter’s 3rd string quartet for a national TV audience! Oh my gawd, who can I send my check to in order to make that happen?
I have a funny Carter story to share with y’all. Ready? When I was a student at North Carolina School of the Arts (74-76), I had a violinist friend that had studied with Robert Mann of the Juilliard String Quartet. My pal recounted a story that Mann had told him about how the Juilliard SQ had been hired to perform Carter’s 2nd SQ at the funeral of a fairly wealthy man who had left a provision in his will for the occasion. The best part of this rare concert event was the comment Robert Mann made near the end of the story, “can you imagine how much Mr. So-and So hated his friends?”
