Haydn Beethoven Schubert: Kindred Spirits
HAYDN - String Quartet in G major, Op. 54 No. 1
BEETHOVEN - String Quartet No. 12 in E flat major, Op. 127
SCHUBERT - Quartettsatz in C minor, D703
The ENDELLION String Quartet
Illustrated talk by David Waterman
This concert, featuring three exceptional works for string quartet, will explore the extent to which Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert, whose lives overlapped in Vienna at the turn of the nineteenth century, were kindred spirits. Schuberts Quartettsatz, the first movement of an unfinished quartet, contains an achingly beautiful melody set off by an underlying sense of fear and tragedy. By contrast, Haydns G major Quartet, Op. 54 No. 1 reveals its composer at his most good-natured and genial, while also embracing a a slow movement of searching profundity. Beethovens Op. 127 is a work of radiance and lyricism whose second-movement variations encompass everything from playfulness to prayer.
