The Quartet for Violin, Viola, Violoncello and Piano was written in 2002 at the request of the Rembrandt Chamber players. It has four movements; the duration is about 25 minutes. The piece is dedicated to the musicians of the Rembrandt Chamber Players.

The first movement is a cantilena in which the string instruments set the mood for much of what is to follow. Each instrument picks up on the main melody, gives its commentary, supported by striking harmonies in the piano which function as the pillars upon which the work is built.
The second movement breaks with the atmosphere of the first: In fast tempo and with relentless energy the work contrasts sharply with the more contemplative, accepting and subdued nature of the first movement.
The third movement, perhaps the darkest of all the movements, delves into the depths of atmospheric writing: A nocturnal mood dominates, highlighted by extensive use of harmonics in the piano and soft, complex and dense harmonies, developing towards a climactic open string sonority.
The last movement once again contrasts sharply: Virtuoso gestures in all instruments break away from the stark mood that dominated the piece to this point. The piece grows in intensity culminating in a climactic return of the opening movement.
