| T | Text and source unknown; perhaps vocalise, as in several other cham- ber works combining voice with instruments | |

| 438 | Four Litde Solos for String Quartet (1) Allegro, pi (2) Adagio, p2 (3) Presto, p3 (4) Allegro moderate, p4 | |
| D | 1 Feb 1928. HC to Olive and Harry Cowell, 2 Feb 1928: "I wrote four compositions for string quartet yesterday & presented them to the Pro Arte Quartett who like them very much and will play them and my quintet for thunder sticks [no. 380] also, in Brussels in the spring." "Written for the Pro Arte String Quartet of Brussels" (caption). | |
| M | Ink full score in 4p. An additional page bears pencil sketches for the 3rd and 4th of the solos. | |
| C | Did die Pro Arte keep their pro forma promise to die composer, as so many did not? No answer has been found; but the Guggenheim Foun- dation Report for 1935-36 carries HCs announcement that the Four Little Solos were played in Paris on 31 Mar 1936 at a concert ofLe Triptyque at the Conservatoire Russe. "Solos for string quartet" is anodier example of HC's play with numbers. In each movement, 1 instrument has a melody against the harmonic background of the other instruments. The soloists are in succession: vc, 2nd vn, va, 1st vn. Marked Passages see no. 429 | |
| 439 | † | Three Pieces for Chamber Orchestra |
| C | HC to Olive Cowell, 23 Feb 1928: "I have completed the score of Three Pieces for Chamber Orchestra." Nowhere else in the Cowell material has dlis precise tide been seen. It is possible the work died an early death and simply is not known to us. It is also possible, however, that HC was referring to die 3-movement work (no. 443) that was performed at first as Marked Passages and later as Sinfonietta. | |
| 440 | Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (1) Polyharmony. Allegro, pl-15 (2) Tone Cluster. Lento - Allegro - Lento, pl6-36. Earlier tide on | |
