Four, the more literal version of its graphically notated fraternal twin, Fore, was commissioned to honor the renowned violinist Ivry Gitlis. The mandate was to compose a work referencing a favorite composition by Mr. Gitlis, the Adagio movement from the Violin Concerto No. 2 in E by Johann Sebastian Bach.
