| | String quartet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Gaetano Donizetti (1797–1848): Much better known for his operas, Donizetti also wrote eighteen string quartets, the first sixteen between 1817 and 1821 (mostly 'scholastic works', though the fifth is his most performed), the seventeenth in 1825 and the last in 1836. | | | The Late Beethoven String Quartets, which group includes his last six quartets and the Große Fuge are among the composers very last works, having been written after the Ninth Symphony, the Missa Solemnis and the Diabelli Variations. | | | Karl Goldmark (1830–1915): Goldmark's only string quartet was his "breakthrough" work, his first composition to receive very positive reviews in contemporary Viennese musical journals. |

| | String Quartet No. 8 (Shostakovich) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Shostakovich's friend, Lev Lebedinsky, said that Shostakovich thought of the work as his epitaph and that he planned to commit suicide around this time. | | | The work is one of his most private; he described it as "an ideologically deficient quartet nobody needs." | | | The first movement opens with the DSCH motif which was Shostakovich's musical signature. |

| | Maia Quartet Will Perform With Lecuona, Hyberger April 24 |
| | Shostakovich had earlier used this theme as a signature in his Tenth Symphony, among other works, and the quartet also quotes from other of his earlier works, including the First Symphony and his controversial opera "Lady McBeth of Mtzensk," as if he were summarizing his career. | | | Shostakovich wrote 15 string quartets, all but one of them between the years of 1944, near the end of World War II, and 1974, the year before the composer's death. | | | Like much of the music written in the last 30 years of Shostakovich's life, they are regarded as highly personal works, conforming outwardly to the expectations of the Soviet authorities but also containing deeply felt expressions of private feelings. |

| | Amazon.com: Complete String Quartets [BOX SET]: Music |
| | Shostakovich's music draws from modern elements, but his music is considerably more tonal and melodic than many other twentieth-century quartets, although no.12 is particularly dissonant and atonal. | | | Whereas Shostakovich's music is full of paradox, biting sarcasm and frenzied sorrow, making it wonderfully unpredictable and fascinatingly macabre, the Emersons strip his work down to the musical equivalent of a wind sprint. | | | Shostakovich adapted modern elements to his personal style, a style emotionally connected to the plight of the Russian and Jewish people under Soviet tyranny. |

| | Classical Music FAQ |
| | Briefly though, All conductors and performers have their own interpretation of a given piece of music, and thus no two recordings are truly the same, just as no two painters' portraits of the same individual could ever be the same. | | | Bach, for instance, is catalogged with BWV numbers (Bach Werke Verzeichnis, "Bach work catalog"), etc. Handel, however, published some of his work in collections called opera (that's the Latin plural for "Opus" and has a meaning entirely different from the word meaning sung musical drama). | | | Authentic performance practice can extend to the selection of instruments themselves (you don't see hurdy gurdies or recorders in modern orchestras), instrument construction, string material, tuning and temperament, seating arrangements, trills and figures, numbers of performers on a given part, tempo, doublings, and of course, overall playing technique. |

| | No instrumental contribution was any more important than any other. | | | From the gray and somber poetry of the opening Largo to the charged Allegro Molto, the Borromeo gave voice and character to every musical thread of this harrowing tapestry. | | | A string quartet is no more than an ensemble comprising four musicians, most usually two violinists, a violist and a cellist. |

| | When Shostakovich's friend and theatrical collaborator Vsevolod Meyerhold was arrested by Stalin's goons, Burian played on his leftist credentials and wrote to Stalin to plead, unsuccessfully, for Meyerhold's release. | | | Cellist Anja Lechner opines, "We are interested in the music, above all, knowing about all those extra-musical correlations does not really make a difference," whereas first violinist Andreas Reiner contends, "Every available piece of information on the composer, his environment and work are of essential interest. | | | It is probable that the hollowness lurking throughout his Fourth Quartet, written in 1947, can be traced to his unimaginable wartime experiences. |
