Description

"The quartet was created out of the need to describe childhood memories
and in distinction to polar nights. The conception of time is present in
both of them. Mental pictures turning to the past and the stillness of
polar nights in the darkness of which time goes and the amount of light
increases without noticing it”, says Kai Nieminen about this string
quartet which was composed in 2014. The quartet is part of "Three
Quartets of Winter" -series.
