Quadrangle | guitar solos by Frank A. Wallace

Quadrangle represents the emergence of my creative powers. I had no faith in my compositional skills until my wife said to me, “Remember those pieces you wrote a few years ago? It’s time to perform them!” I couldn’t even remember what she was referring to until I dug them out [of my notebooks from college] and for no discernible reason, what had been hen scratches on the page, suddenly had form. Within hours I solved the conundrums and have not put my pencil down since. The title is a partial pun on my days with the Quadrivium, a school of performance in the Boston area run by my mentor Marleen Montgomery, to whom the piece is dedicated.
