A Book of Inventions is a large-scale cycle of string quartets by the English composer John Woolrich.
'... a total project; a model collection of ‘mechanisms for discovering good ideas’ (as the inventions of Bach have been described); a significant, and wondrously Protean, addition to the modern quartet repertoire.'
(Dermot Clinch)
