Walter A. Mays

Finale of Mays' Quartet in G minor (1998)

“Dr. Mays introduced me to new sonorities, new doublings, new instrument combinations,

percussion instruments I’d never heard of, mutes, bowings, harmonics, and on and on.

Each lesson was invaluably enriching and never seemed to duplicate the previous.

Roll over Beethoven; I knew the next project would be orchestral.”
