Residuo (1974)

Karl-Erik Wellin

Program notes

String Quartet No.4 Residuo from 1974 was composed at Welin’s summer house on Mallorca. After a long struggle with alcohol abuse, Welin woke up one morning and realized that it was enough. Writing the string quartet became a path back to life, and the title Residuo
symbolizes the return.
