Abstract
The purpose of the proposed study is to explore selected quarter-tone music for solo violin, as per the techniques of Czech composer Alois Haba (1893–1973). I will first introduce quarter-tone compositional techniques generally, focusing on how violinists can identify and perform quarter-tones. I will then proceed to discuss the elements and construction of Haba’s quarter-tone techniques, as developed in two works for solo violin: Fantasy for Solo Violin, Op. 9a (1921) and Suite in Quarter-Tones for Solo Violin, Op. 93 (1961-62).
