TEMPO ADAGIO

At the edge of the land where the land meets the sea, and the sea meets the sky on the distant horizon, a string quartet appears on a beach. During a beautiful performance recorded in situ, we are invited with imagery and music to contemplate the passage of time and the slow turning of the earth with the slow greatness of the first movement of Beethoven’s String Quartet no. 14 in C♯ minor, Opus 131, 'Adagio ma non troppo e molto espressivo'.
