Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975), 1974 For many, the fifteen string quartets by Dmitri Shostakovich represent a cycle of artistic devotion and intense, intimate expression second only to the sixteen quartets by Beethoven. For Shostakovich, the quartets provided a refuge from the more public and highly scrutinized genres of opera, symphony, ballet or film score where a negative judgment by totalitarian authorities threatened real and serious danger. The wordless “absolute” musical meaning of instrumental chamber music provided a safe haven even when such “domestic” music of friends was performed in public. Here, he could express himself more naturally and honestly and as with late Beethoven, the music is often deeply personal, introspective, and vividly autobiographical. Shostakovich was also a great classicist, drawn to the preludes and fugues of Bach and the transcendent quartets of Beethoven and he strove to make his contribution in these august musical traditions. He planned to compose a set of twenty-four string quartets, one in each major and minor key, but he ran out of time. Dying of an aggressive cancer, and frequently hospitalized, Shostakovich completed his 15th and last string quartet at the age of 68 in 1974, less than a year before he died. Posted in| Comments Off. Joseph Haydn (1732 – 1809), c. 1787 Haydn’s six string quartets numbered Op. 50 appeared in print in 1787 though it is not entirely certain when he composed them. Mostly likely, they were written between 1784 and 1786 but possibly as late as 1787. In what appears to have been a bit of an afterthought, Haydn dedicated the set to the music-loving, cello-playing King of Prussia, William Frederick II and thus they are known as Haydn’s “Prussian” quartets. Written after Mozart’s “Haydn” Quartets following Haydn’s own epochal Op. 50 quartets are considered some of Haydn’s finest: pure and perfect classical quartets from an inextinguishable font of charm, invention and wit in a new installment of the historical dialectic. Although the traditional set of “famous” or “beloved” quartets of Haydn includes only the final, sixth quartet of Op. 50, the inimitable musicologist and quartet expert Hans Keller includes all six Op. 50 quartets in his book, “The Great Haydn Quartets.” Nonetheless, the last quartet, Op. 6 in D major is the most well-known of the set bearing its own nickname, “The Frog”, bestowed by posterity in reference to a unique sonic device in the finale, of which more in a moment.

Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953), 1919 Sergei Prokofiev has proven to be one of the great 20th century composers with outstanding masterworks in nearly every genre from opera, ballet and symphonies to chamber works, music for children (e.g. Peter and the Wolf) and numerous virtuosic works featuring the piano highlighting his own abilities as a concert pianist. Spending most of his life in Russia and the Soviet Union, Prokofiev spent nearly two decades living aboard beginning with a short, financially and professional unsuccessful sojourn in the United States from August 1918 through April 1920. While living in America, Prokofiev was commissioned by an ensemble of Russian Jewish immigrants called Zimro for some new music to be based on themes from a notebook of Jewish folksongs and scored for their specific ensemble: clarinet, string quartet and piano. At first resisting, Prokofiev accepted the commission and quickly completed a ten-minute overture that he debuted as pianist with Zimro in 1920. While Prokofiev remained rather unimpressed with the work (which he later orchestrated), the Overture on Hebrew Themes has remained one of his most cherished chamber compositions. Posted in| Comments Off. Joseph Haydn, 1732-1809, 1793 Music appears to be an infinitely renewable resource in that the human capability for ever-new musical expression seems inexhaustible. This property is seemingly demonstrable even within the work of certain prodigious composers like Bach or Haydn where, within even a single genre, we are presented with an endless variety of riches. Haydn is famous not only for essentially inventing the string quartet but also for turning out a large number of masterworks in the form, each a unique individual example novel in its own way. Most knowledgeable enthusiasts will agree that Haydn wrote around 30 “great” quartets and yet, without any particularly radical changes, they comfortably fit within a relatively modest range of style and expression. Still, they are testament to Haydn’s endless powers of invention and musical entertainment as he gradually evolved the string quartet from the intimate chamber salon to the public concert hall.
