THE STRATTON STRING
QUARTET:
George Stratton (violin) ; Carl Taylor (violin); Watson Forbes (viola);
John Moore (violoncello) Guy Ropartz, whose Quartet No. 3 in G will be heard this afternoon, was born in 1864 and comes of an old Breton family. His master was Cesar Franck whose declared disciple he is. These two influences, the Breton and the Franck, have coloured all his music ; yet although Franck is his model and Breton the root of his inspiration, his composition shows strong originality, combined with a character that is both individual and wholly French.
