Ton de Leeuw - not to be confused with Reinbert - was born in Rotterdam in 1926.

He left us three string quartets, from the years 1958, 1964 and 1994.

The String Quartet no. 1 still employs a strict serial technique, applied to durations (including rests) and dynamics. However, allied to Webern and Japanese traditional music – especially through the surrounding of note patterns by silence – it is consciously distant from, as de Leeuw saw it, the latent expressionism in serialism.

String quartet no. 1 (1958):

It was performed by the Gaudeamus quartet.
