String Quartet No. 3 is a chamber-music work written in 1931 by the Mexican composer and violinist Silvestre Revueltas.
Revueltas composed his third string quartet in the same year as his second, 1931, and the Cuarteto Clásico Nacional gave the first performance on 2 September 1931. [1] Although the score was announced in 1958 as being "in preparation for sale", [2] it was only finally published in 1995, fifty-five years after the composer's death and several decades after his other three quartets. [3]
The quartet is in three movements:
This work is regarded as "the best, most solid, and profound" of Revueltas's quartets. The second movement, marked "mysterious and ghostly", contains references to the third movement of Béla Bartók's Fourth Quartet, which was written just three years earlier. [4]
