His Quatuor pour la Fin du Temps was written in 1940-41 while the composer was a prisoner-of-war at Gorlitz, Silesia. The work is inscribed: ' En hommage a I'Ange de I'Apocalypse, qui lève la main vers le eel en disant " II n'y aura plus de Temps." ' It was performed at the twentieth festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music, held in London in 1946. Harold Rutland
