Fourth Movement: Sostenuto

The choice to make the finale a slow-tempo movement is a point of similarity with the String Quartet No. 2. The rhythmic pattern of eighth note, quarter note, quarter note, eighth note originates from Hungarian folk music. This finale is imbued with extremely delicate poetic sentiment. In 6/8 time, play with an awareness of the fourth beat.
