With the intent of contributing new research to the body of knowledge on Walter Hamor Piston (1894-1976) and his work, this paper covers the composition of his final piece, Concerto for String Quartet, Wind Instruments and Percussion (1976). The research includes an introduction to the work and life of Piston in order to establish the empirical nature of the composition. A history of the work is reviewed, from conception to the premier. Piston's compositional process as it pertains to the work is derived from original drafts and letters among other sources. Finally, compositional techniques and philosophies implemented in the piece are analyzed.

520 $a With the intent of contributing new research to the body of knowledge on Walter Hamor Piston (1894-1976) and his work, this paper covers the composition of his final piece, Concerto for String Quartet, Wind Instruments and Percussion (1976). The research includes an introduction to the work and life of Piston in order to establish the empirical nature of the composition. A history of the work is reviewed, from conception to the premier. Piston's compositional process as it pertains to the work is derived from original drafts and letters among other sources. Finally, compositional techniques and philosophies implemented in the piece are analyzed.
520 $a The Concerto for String Quartet, Wind Instruments and Percussion is the last piece Piston composed and the final concerto in a series of late concertos which exemplify a redefined conception of variation and are formed differently than works in previous style periods. As Piston recounted of the first concerto in the series, writing the Cello Variations would make "an interesting project: to make one continuous work---variations, but not theme and variations, rather six or seven ways to regard a musical idea, different aspects or facets, each growing out of another." A decade later, his notion of variation became even more organic. While writing the Concerto for String Quartet, Wind Instruments and Percussion in 1976, he simply stated, "I hear a sound and I write it." The resulting work thus represents the music vocabulary of Piston. While he had reexamined how to form his works and the flow of ideas, the work still largely proves to be an extension of compositional techniques acquired over a lifetime of learning.
520 $a The second component to this dissertation is an original composition by the author, Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra. While the piece is not directly modeled after the focus of the research, Concerto for String Quartet, Wind Instruments and Percussion by Piston, elements from studying Piston inevitably entered into the new composition.
