Note: I have trnscribed the seven bars that precede each double time section contrary to the form of Quartet No. 3. The
actual form of this section is 10 bars in 3/4 followed by 4 bars in 4/4. Below is the first section of the solo rewritten in
the proper form. As a result of Michael's free movement, playing these sections in three and two against three (hemiola),
it is difficult to clearly notate the other half-time sections. For ease of reading, I chose to write it all in 4/4.
