Farr's third work for string quartet, Frenzy is a high-energy piece with a strong emphasis on rhythm, jaunty phrasings and gritty harmonies. As its name suggests, it is somewhat cr azed in character. Structured in a rondo-variation form, the listener is allowed to get accustomed to the subject before being taken somewhere completely different. The subject is revisited periodically, each time with a new undiscovered facet, an unexplored perspective. There is a great deal of contrast between the deployment of the quartet as one instrument or one mind, and the treatment of the four players as soloists, each asserting their own personalities.
