These two chamber music works are one of the main focuses in the oeuvre of Ulvi Cemal Erkin. Lively and spirited, they combine Western European tradition with rhythmic and melodic elements from Turkish folk music. Both are perfectly suitable for music lessons and concert recitals, adding a new interesting colour to the common chamber music repertoire. Erkin (1906-1972) is one of the most important composers of Turkey.
He studied piano and composition in France and later returned to his home country where he became professor in Ankara. Instrumentation : string quartet and piano
