Quartet en Do (Quartet in C) dates from 1948 and was performed in public for the first time that same year by E. Bocquet, D. Ponsa, M. Valero i J.Trotta. In spite of Toldrà’s influence, suggested by the repetition of a title already used by that composer, Blancafort achieved a composing technique which was very personal, meticulous and vivid. When Blancafort asked Joan Massià to give his first impressions of it, the latter was astonished by its richness of technique, a richness which was due in part, as Blancafort would confess, to the suggestions made by his wife, the violinist Helena París. The work began as an outline of episodes for quartet, taking on coherent form once finished and third movements are those which sand out: the first, an «Allegro con brio», because of the predominant role of the first violin and the harmony which joins the first theme, sparkling and euphoric, and the second, lyrical and expressive; the third, a «Lento non troppo», because of the very beautiful melodic theme which the composer himself would later call Cançó d’Isabel (Isabel’s song) and which he would also rearrange for chamber orchestra. The work is rounded out by a second movement which is «Animato e ritmico» although undefined, and the fourth, an «Allegro giusto» which is both festive and of great expressive transparency.
