Linguine's Warp Speed is one of 12 string quartet pieces for intermediate strings included in Richard Young's Comprehensive String Pedagogy & Curriculum. A portion of the proceeds of sales for all CSPC music goes to support free music education at The People's Music School.

Warp Speed is a string quartet version of Linguine’s The Need for Speed and The Speed of Sound, two string orchestra pieces from CSPC’s Elementary section. The term “warp speed” comes from the popular Star Trek television series, and it refers to the ability of space ships to travel from one galaxy to another in just seconds. Not surprisingly, this piece is considerably faster and more demanding than the orchestral versions.
 In this piece, a motive that consists of four rapid 16th notes is passed seamlessly from one instrument to another. For maximum control, the players must always be in the right place of the bow (near the middle), and use very little bow. In the sul ponticello section, it is essential to maintain a consistent contact point.
 -Richard Young

Full program notes are included with the score. There are fingerings and bowings in all the string parts of every one of CSPC's pieces. These "cooked-in" technical solutions target the particular levels of the students. They are not just pragmatic but "musical."

Please note that due to a loss of source files, the PDF files of the music have been generated from scanned copies of printed parts. While every effort has been made to produce high quality parts, the limitations of scanning will result in some degradation of print quality.
