String Quartet No 1 I. Allegro con forza A forceful first movement, basically a study in thirds and 2nds. It is in rondo form and contains a lot of dissonance, but still stays within the key range of "a."
Disclaimer: I don't understand a word. (To elaborate on that: my musical education was very basic, and it had very little effect on me
).
Not really my cup of tea, maybe it's because of the too much dissonance... on the other hand I could very much imagine this piece as film music. (Actually, the more I listen the less that dissonance bothers me, so prolly I'm not totally hopeless at least..)

String Quartet No 1 II. Andante I use more of the traditional tonal language of Late Romantic period in the second mvmnt.
Really beautiful this one.

String Quartet No 1 III. Allegro This movement is composed using set theory, but it isn't all numbers. There is still some hint of quasi-tonality, but my use of dynamics helps to understand cadential points and such.
Really liked the last 30 seconds, the beginning just goes it too many directions in a too short time for me

"String Quartet No 1 IV. Adagio Again, I use Late Romantic harmonic language here. My favorite movement."
Again, something very nice.
