Description

Mainspring for string quintet and piano (duration: 5′)

Mainspring takes its name from the coiled spring that drives the mechanism of a watch or clock, first wound tight and then gradually released. Built from a short, mixed-meter groove, the music constantly expands and contracts, culminating in an extended “unwinding” of the ostinato theme.
