Anthony Watson composed his String Quartet No. 3 in 1971, while he was the inaugural Mozart Fellow at the University of Otago. Although it uses many of the same contrapuntal techniques as String Quartet No. 2, there is a new compositional element: the relentless repetition of small cells to form harmonically static textures.
String Quartet No. 3 is recorded by the New Zealand String Quartet on Anthony Watson: The String Quartets (Continuum CCD 1065)
