An important loner was Charles Koechlin, son of an Alsatian industrialist. Much of his chamber music until after the First World War is friendly and equable. Like Koechlin, Honegger also composed three string quartets. However, the tone is completely different from that of Koechlin. Thus, Honegger’s First String Quartet is flamboyant and emphatically expressive. In contrast, Igor Stravinsky’s Concertino for string quartet is a concise exercise in Baroque concert technique, including a cadenza for the first violin and repetitive figures.
