It has been said of their playing of the last Rasoumovsky that "they are young people embarking on an exceptional adventure; they have a dream of conquering the greatest work of its kind and they do it with the majestic dialogue of the magnificent British School. They give us chamber music of perfection and finesse." (La Voix de Galicial 1987). That spirit of exceptional adventure has inspired them to introduce into their repertoire the seldom played but entrancing Quartet no. 1 of Vaughan Williams. 7.

His musical sensitivity brought him special recognition as the winner of the Award for Chamber Music Playing and the stimulating programme he performs in Huddersfield will display his talents to the full. Concerts on intervening Mondays are promoted by the Polytechnic Music Department and are advertised in the Department's brochure.

S I 34 | 9 Concertino for two pianos op. 94 Petite Suite (Duet) Danses Andalouses Shostakovich Debussy Infante These individually highly gifted identical twins bring to duo piano programmes a telepathic musical rapport and exuberance which captivate audiences wherever they perform. Their U.S.A. concerts, which included television and radio broadcasts, met with standing ovations and high critical acclaim. This is a rare and welcome opportunity to hear duo works on one and two pianos. This concert is sponsored by the Countess of Munster Musical Trust. 4.

And what better way to hear them than in an all Beethoven programme - one early, one middle and one late quartet - playing with all the artistry and authority for which they are renowned in their programmes of the Master's work? The Lindsays are in residence at the Faculty of Music at the University of Manchester; they live in Sheffield, where their Chamber Music Festivals at the Crucible Studio (five so far) are a major attraction. This concert is organised with the support of Yorkshire Arts. Trio in E flat op. 1 no. 1 Trio in A minor Trio in B flat D898 5.

They made their American debut at the Carnegie Hall in 1983, when the New York Times said of their performance of the Ravel Trio in A minor that this was "memorable; a pastel evocation imbued with soft light. This was chamber music at its best".

Partita in F sharp minor Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) Sonata Allemande - Aria - Courante - Sarabande Gigue - Johann Pachelbel was born and died in Nuremberg. In 1673 he became deputy organist at St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna. This contact with Catholic music enlarged his musical experience, which was otherwise Protestant. From 1695 until his death he was organist of the church of St. Sebald in Nuremberg. Throughout his life he was employed as an organist and the majority of his output was for the church. He wrote some fine harpsichord music but it is disappointing that there is so little instrumental music surviving. Some trios published in 1695 were designed specifically for amateurs. Eight further works survive in a manuscript which was lost in the war and has only recently emerged. This Partita is scored for violins, violas and basso continuo. Fidicinium sacro-profanum (1683) Harmonia artificiosa-ariosa (1683) Partita No. 3 in A major - - INTERVAL Heinrich Biber (1644-1704) Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber was born in Northern Bohemia and seems to have studied locally, becoming a virtuoso violinist. From 1670 until his death Biber worked for the Archbishop of Salzburg. He wrote a considerable a considerable amount of church music but only a Requiem and a 53-part Mass have survived. It It is his instrumental music which has been most played. Although some was published at the beginning of the century, it was not until the emergence of ensembles playing early-style instruments that its high quality became apparent. Fidicinium sacro-profanum (Sacred and secular music for strings) was dedicated to Archbishop Gandolph of Salzburg. It contains 12 sonatas for violins, violas, violone and continuo, of which two will be performed. The Harmonia artificiosa-ariosa is a collection of seven partitas for two violins and basso continuo. Partita No. 3 has six movements: Praeludium - Allemande Amener (Courante) - Balletto Gigue - Ciacona. 1 Heinrich Biber 0 C T B P S E h H h 1 S Ğ C 1 E C

Overture in G minor BWV 1070 for 2 violins, viola & basso continuo Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Ouverture - Torneo Aria Menuet 1 & 2 - Capriccio Thirteen Canons on the groundnotes of the Goldberg Variations BWV 1087 for harpsichord, 2 violins, 2 violas and violoncello. Johann Sebastian Bach The Overture in G minor (really a suite) is said to be the work of Bach's eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann, who was born in Weimar in 1710, No autograph, either of father or son, has survived and it is only through a copy made by a pupil of Bach's that we know the work at all. The copy is not dated but is thought to be from the late 1720's or early 1730's. The Canons which comprise BWV 1087 belong to a group which Bach wrote in about 1745 and are preserved on a blank page in his personal copy of the Goldberg Variations. Two of them have long been known in separate contexts - one can be seen in Haussmann's portrait of Bach c. 1746 in which the composer holds it facing the onlooker - but the remainder only came to light in 1975. Each canon in the group is a 'canon perpetuus', that is to say it can continue endlessly in performance, and so the players must decide for themselves a harmonically appropriate point at which to close. The skill in canon writing was to get the maximum music out of the minimum notation. Canon originally meant 'verbal instruction'; by Bach's time it was used to refer to a piece of music where additional parts could be extrapolated from those written. For instance, the one on Bach's portrait appears to be in three parts, but from each of these parts a further part can be made by reversing the intervals of the written parts. To some extent this was an intellectual exercise; but at times fine music resulted. As ever, Bach displays his consummate mastery of contrapuntal technique in these engaging little pieces. (from notes by Clifford Bartlett and Nicholas Anderson)

They studied under the internationally famed Professor Andras Mihaly who coached the Bartok and Kodaly Quartets. After graduating from the Academy in 1973, the Quartet at once became well-known on Hungarian Radio and TV. They have since performed in every major European country, playing at many important festivals such as Berlin, as Berlin, Bordeaux and Bath. Their concert tours include the United States of America and Canada and they have made annual visits to Britain. The present tour encompasses 12 major cities. The composition of the Quartet has been somewhat altered since their last visit to this Society in 1984, Janos Selmeczi and Ildiko Hegyi replacing the violinists Pal Eder and Erica Toth.

Quartet in G major Op.54 No.1 Allegro con brio Allegretto Menuetto and Trio Finale - presto Haydn (1732-1809) By some strange error of judgment this fine quartet has never before been played at these concerts. It is the first of the so-called 'Tost' quartets and it was with Johann Tost, a respectable cloth merchant and violinist that Haydn and Mozart played the Mozart Quintets, alternating first and second viola parts. The quartet is largely traditional with a charming siciliano slow movement, but the menuetto is notable for the 5-bar phrases of the first part of the movement. The first violin is unusually silent in the Trio. Quartet No. 4 Allegro Prestissimo con sordino Non troppo lento Bartok (1881-1945) Allegretto pizzicato Allegro molto (One previous performance by the Amadeus Quartet in 1953) Of Bartok's six string quartets, the first appeared in 1908 and the last in 1941 punctuating the main course of his life as a composer; through them his entire development can be traced. His melodic thinking was strongly influenced by his researches into Hungarian folk-music but but the influence remained as a flavour rather than in any use of traditional tunes. He himself explained explained that it had shown him the possibility of complete emancipation from the and minor modes and that the new forms acquired opened up new melodic and harmonic potentialities. tyranny of major of scales thus Bartok was essentially a linear composer; he named Bach, Beethoven and Debussy as the masters from whom he had learned the most - Bach for his counterpoint, counterpoint, Beethoven for his - de im th th is se fr Le re Br Qu ar Se 51 Fe O A E 02 p ar S r b: 96 b T ده t

This quartet's five movements are in the form of an arch the keystone (itself in arch form A-B-A) being the Lento which is flanked by two fast and glittering movements while two more serious movements begin and end the work. The quartet dates from 1928 (the same year as Janacek's second quartet Intimate Letters). The work was dedicated to the Pro Arte Quartet and received its first performance at the Festival of Liège and Brussels in 1930. INTERVAL Quartet in E minor Op.59 No. 2 (Rasoumovsky) Beethoven (1770-1827) Allegro Molto adagio Allegretto Presto (Last performed in 1974 by the Fitzwilliam Quartet) All three quartets Op.59, dedicated to Count Rasoumovsky, are being played during this season, beginning with the second. The first will be performed by the Lindsay Quartet on 5th December and the third by the Roth Quartet on 13th February. The first two incorporate a Russian song in honour of their dedicatee, the Russian Ambassador - in this case presented by the viola in the trio section of the third movement. Peter Cropper writes: "When we hear the Op. 18 quartets we are still in the world of Haydn and Mozart. Now (1806) within six years, we are not only in a new century with revolution rife, but in a different universe. What Beethoven achieves in his 'Eroica' symphony, he surpasses in his 'middle period' quartets. His symphonies are a public expression of the times but these quartets express Beethoven's reaction to his own revolution as well: he had been going deaf since the age of thirty".

The E minor Quartet is much the most elusive of the three. It begins, as does the Eroica, with two chords that have no other purpose than to attract our attention. These are followed by a breathless broken phrase. The slow movement bears the instruction Si tratta questo pezzo tratta questo pezzo con molto di sentimento (to be played with great feeling). The Russian theme in the trio of the allegretto movement is the Slava (Glory) found in Boris Godunov and other Russian Works longer a patriotic hymn under Beethoven's treatment. no HUDDERSFIELD MUSIC SOCIETY Next Concert, Monday 14 November: CLAIRE & ANTOINETTE CANN Sonata in D major K448 Rhapsodie Espagnole Concertino for two pianos Petite Suite Danses Andalouses HUDDERSFIELD POLYTECHNIC MONDAYS at St. PAUL'S 7 November at 7.30pm STUDENTS on STAGE - II Serenade for 13 wind instruments Sonata for flute and piano Wind serenade in D minor HALIFAX PHILHARMONIC CLUB Harrison House, Harrison Road, Halifax Friday 11 November at 7.30pm THE PIANO TRIO BERLIN Trio in E flat Variations on Kakadu Trio in E flat Op. 100 - Mozart Ravel Shostakovich Debussy Infante Strauss Prokofiev Dvorak Haydn Beethoven Schubert

They studied with Phyllis Sellick at the Royal College of Music and both graduated with first class honours in solo and duo-piano performance, subsequently winning the President's Rose Bowl (for the student who brings the most credit to the RCM) They have performed extensively throughout Britain including concerts in the Purcell Room, Fairfield Halls, St. David's Hall, etc. and have played with many orchestras including the London Mozart Players. They are playing in the USA, Poland and Germany this season and have recorded for Gemini Sound. Sonata for two pianos in D major K448 This concert is sponsored by the Countess of Munster Musical Trust. Gowns by Bride' available from Rackham of Bradford. Volfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) Allegro con spirito - Andante - Allegro molto The Sonata K448, along with the fugue in C minor K426, are Mozart's only works for 2 pianos, apart from some fragments.

This is surprising when one considers his large output for 4 hands at one piano. The Sonata was composed in Vienna in November 1781 for performance by Mozart himself and Fräulein Josephine Aurnhammer, a grotesquely ugly lady who had pestered Mozart for piano lessons and who was certainly enamoured of him. However, her redeeming feature was that that she was a gifted performer and the critical Mozart certainly admired her playing. The piece is one of Mozart's supreme essays in the gallant style yet at the same time, unusual for Mozart, embraces an enormous range of emotions within one work. Einstein has written of it: 'The art with which the two parts are made completely equal, the play of the dialogue, the delicacy and refinement of figuration, the feeling of sonority in the combination and exploitation of the registers of the two instruments - all these things exhibit such mastery that this apparently superficial and entertaining work is at the same time one of the most profound and most mature of all Mozart's compositions'. The magnificently controlled dialogue reaches emotional intensity in the passionate slow movement which is an instrumental 'love duet' comparable to the great love scenes in the operas.

Rhapsodie Espagnole Prelude à la Nuit - Malaguena - Habanera - Feria Composed in 1907, Rhapsodie Espagnole was Ravel's first large-scale orchestral work and it was an immediate success. Ravel had originally composed the third movement, Habanera, as a two-piano work and soon after the completion of the orchestral score he transcribed the remaining movements of the suite for two pianos. Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) The first movement, Prelude à la Nuit, has been described as an 'essay in musical impressionism'. The succession of shimmering colours combined with dreamy rhythms evoke the atmosphere of a Spanish evening. There is no distinctive theme but the descending four-note figure that opens the movement is H f 1 b e

The Prelude leads on directly to the Malaguena which is a lively movement in A minor based on rhythms common to the district of Malaga. It features the distinctive abrupt changes of mood which are characteristic of this dance form. Near the end the descending four-note figure is heard, recalling the 'nocturnal music of the first movement. The Habanera which follows captures the mood of this well- known rather sensuous dance. This contrasts sharply with the gaiety of the last movement, the Feria which paints a vivid picture of a Spanish Fair approaching from the distance and carrying everyone along with its vigour and excitement as the colourful Hispanic panorama sweeps to its conclusion. Concertino for Two Pianos INTERVAL Petite Suite Shostakovich wrote the Concerto for his son, Maxim, who gave the first performance of it with Alla Mloletkova on 20th January 1955 in Moscow Conservatory.

The first motif then returns but before the close of the movement, the waltz motif reappears to bring the work to its delightful conclusion. Danses Andalouses Manuel Infante (1883-1958) Written in 1921, these three dances capture the imagination of the listener with their vivid tone colours and shimmering virtuosity. The set opens with Ritmo, a dance of impetuous vitality which features castanet-like figures. In Sentimento, the centre-piece of the set, Infante extends the form to include a dramatic cadenza-like introduction and a kaleidoscope of Spanish themes which enhance the improvisatory nature of the music This is followed by the finale, Gracia, which brings the suite to a sparkling conclusion with its graceful charm and poise.

In 1984 the Quartet inspired their own Chamber Music Festival in Sheffield, centred on Beethoven. The subsequent annual festivals have featured Schubert, Mozart and Haydn, and this year the Romantics: Brahms, Schumann and Mendelssohn. The 1989 Festival is to be Beethoven again. The Lindsay is extremely is extremely fortunate fortunate in being lent some remarkable instruments: the Maurin Stradivarius of 1718 on loan to Peter Cropper by the Royal Academy of Music, the Campo-Selice of 1694 to Ronald Birks and a Ruggiero cello of 1694 to Bernard Gregor-Smith; Robin Ireland plays a Mori Costa viola C.1810. The quartet has a busy international schedule schedule covering France, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Finland and will make their sixth tour of the USA in March 1989. LUDWIG van BEETHOVEN b. Bonn 1770 d. Vienna 1827 "A majority of musicians would probably agree in regarding Beethoven's string quartets as the highest peak in the whole range of chamber music". Thus wrote Roger Fiske in 1957 and few would challenge the statement today.

The history of the arts in his day showed a gradual improvement from the primitive each peak being higher than its predecessor and Beethoven's quartets are more highly developed technically as well as emotionally than those of his forerunners. Beethoven was a passionate believer in human progress, and like his contemporary, Wordsworth, hailed the French revolution with its ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. Both artists were to be disillusioned but not before the completion of the Op.18 string quartets. Building on the techniques of Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven's depth and intensity of thought and feeling are increasingly evident in the three great periods of his quartet development - the six Op.18, the three Rasoumovsky with Op.74 and Op.95, and the late works Opp.127, 130, 131, 132, and 135. Quartet in A major, Op.18 No.5 Allegro Menuetto Andante cantabile - Allegro (First performance at the Society's concerts) - - a new The first professional string quartet seems to have been formed in Vienna by Ignaz Schuppanzigh when he was only 16. String quartets were then the music of the young fashion. In 1792 Prince Lichnowsky began hiring Schuppanzigh and his three friends to play quartets every Friday morning. Towards the end of the century they were playing Haydn's last and Beethoven's first string quartets in the Prince's house. The Op.18 quartets were commissioned by Prince Lobkowitz and were composed about 1799. No.5, perhaps the least often performed, is most notable for the five splendid variations and coda forming the third movement. In writing them, Beethoven obviously took as his model the variations in Mozart's quartet in A major. Quartet in F major Op.59 No.1 Allegro Allegretto vivace e sempre scherzando Adagio molto e mesto Thème Russe allegro plads (Last performed in 1977 by the New Budapest Quartet) D

The first Rasoumovsky quartet was composed in 1806, commissioned by the Count who was Russian Ambassador in Vienna. As in the second, played by the Eder Quartet in October, a Russian folk tune is introduced this time as the opening theme of the last movement - on the cello. We 2 The music of Beethoven's middle period is larger in every way than that of the earlier years; this quartet is nearly twice as long as the A major, Op.18 and is immeasurably deeper in emotional intensity and in the range of the instruments. It opens with a cello solo - a deep rich beginning to a work remarkable for the depth of the bass and the height of the top lines, making for astonishing expansiveness in the music. The second movement, a scherzo with a persistent rhythmic figure, opens with a dialogue between the cello and second violin, followed by the viola and first violin. It is a triumph of rhythmic and melodic originality. It is succeeded by one of Beethoven's most moving slow movements. This movement has no ending proper but slips into a cadenza, linked to the finale by a long trill below which the cello introduces the Russian folk song transformed into a dance, the song only appearing in its original, slow form towards the end of the work. The third Rasoumovsky is to be played on 13th February next by the Roth String Quartet. INTERVAL Quartet in C sharp minor, Op.131 Adagio ma non troppo Allegro molto vivace Allegro moderato Andante ma non troppo e molto cantabile Presto Adagio quasi un poco andante Allegro (Last performed in 1979 by the Orford Quartet, Canada) The five late quartets, including the great fugue, occupied the last few years of Beethoven's life. He began work on them in 1824 and finished them in 1826, a few months before his death. Opus 131 may be said to have seven movements but they are played without a break and the divisions are not clear to the

a listener. The opening fugue (adagio) is very long and leads into the scherzo in 2-time. There is then long unison a long unison passage, interrupted by a brief recitative which introduces the theme and variations. This is a very different set from that of Op.18 No.5 and is almost a a quartet in itself. (Amateurs are sometimes advised to confine themselves to this movement!). The movement ends with the second violin and viola playing unison, the first trilling and the cello commenting. The presto is announced by the cello - a fast and brilliant movement with a passage towards the end to be played on the bridge - an innovation in quartet writing. This exciting movement movement ends with widely spaced G sharps, the violins and viola leaping down and up, while the cello does the reverse; after a pause the G sharp minor adagio, 28 bars of the most profound sadness, leads us to the final allegro which suddenly breaks forth in unison on the four instruments. Wagner described the movement as "the world's dance of fierce pleasure, agony, joy, passion and pain". This concert is subsidised by Yorkshire Arts Association.

HUDDERSFIELD MUSIC SOCIETY Seventy-first Season 1988 1989 Monday 23rd January 1989 TRIO RAVEL of PARIS Chantal de Buchy piano Christian Crennes violin The members of the Ravel Piano Trio are all young soloists with many first prizes to their credit. They formed the Trio in 1969 and studied the repertoire with Rostropovich and Menuhin. Since then they have made many tours including Canada, the USA, South America and Japan. Last season the trio gave a very highly acclaimed concert in Lancaster University. We warmly welcome their return visit to the North of England. Trio No.1 in E flat Op.1 No.1 Allegro Manfred Stilz cello Adagio cantabile Scherzo Finale Beethoven (1770-1827) presto (First Performance at these concerts) From December 1792 to January 1794 Beethoven was having lessons in composition from Haydn who was back from his visit to London. The three trios Op.1 were written between 1793 and 1795 and must have surprised Haydn when he returned from a second London visit. In fact he was was so unwise as to advise Beethoven not to publish No.3, easily the best of the three and the most often played. Under Beethoven's hand the form had undergone a considerable change; no longer does the cello part simply duplicate the piano as in most of Haydn's piano trios but plays an individual part in the whole. Then again, Beethoven has introduced a fourth movement, the scherzo, which was an innovation in piano trio

writing. Only Op.70 No.1 (Ghost) is in the old form of three movements. The trio is classical in form, a delightful work, not very often performed. Trio in A minor Modéré Pantoum assez vif Passacaille - très large - 1 Ravel (1875-1937) Final animé (Last performed in 1985 by the Abegg Piano Trio) Very few major composers in the early part of this century wrote piano trios; the medium is difficult according to Ravel who said that the violin and piano are essentially incompatible: the tempered intervals on the piano clash with the untempered on the stringed instrument. With his extraordinary ear for orchestration, Ravel was the man to take up his own challenge. He uses the piano harmonically but avoids chords with the strings, preferring to play them in octaves so that the strings are often only a single part but strong enough to balance the powerful piano. This work was a long time in gestation; on one occasion Ravel said it was finished except for the themes; which it may well have been, as the structure of a piece was his first consideration. The quiet opening is in 8/8 time, divided into three groups of quavers 3:2:3, with the bass giving the four beats of the bar. The strings take up the theme at the interval of two octaves. In this movement the composer uses the themes from his native Basque country. Pantoum is the word given to a type of Malayan poetry in which the second and fourth lines of each verse are repeated as the first and third of the following one. There is some rather complicated parallel in this form of music. The third movement is not a strict passacaglia; the theme, after being stated in the bass of the piano, is repeated by the

With each statement the pitch rises, then descends descends to its original register. The Finale alternates between five and seven beats to a bar, some of the material recalling themes of the first movement. Trio in B flat D898 INTERVAL Allegro moderato Andante un poco mosso Scherzo and trio - Schubert (1797-1828) Rondo allegro vivace (Last performed in 1980 by the Sheffield University Trio) (Rosemary Furniss, Colin Carr and Peter Hill) Some of the happiest hours of Schubert's life were spent in the houses of friends in musical evenings - Schubertiades. Both his piano trios were composed for such occasions and were inspired by his friendship with Schuppanzigh violin, Linke cello and von Bocklet piano. "The B flat trio is a blissfully happy work, rich in cheerful melody and full of characteristic modulations and key switches. The principal tune sails in at once ,all sunshine and swagger, while the punctuating figure in the left-hand piano part enhances the élan of the tune. Schubert's favourite triplets, as well as the dotted rhythm of the figure, are at once in evidence." (W. Mann) The strings take the lead as in the 'Trout' Quintet. They generally present the themes and the piano takes them up afterwards. Particularly prominent is the way the cello is used; Schubert takes the cello, in soloistic and at times virtuosic manner, up into the high positions. In the first movement the first subject is first stated by the cello, and in the Andante the cello opens the string dialogue with the main theme before the piano takes it over. In this way, this trio played a large part in raising raising the cello to one of the most popular solo instruments.

Quartet in B flat, K458 Allegro vivace assai Minuet and trio Adagio Allegro assai (Last performed in 1979 by the Orford Quartet of Canada) This is the fourth of the six quartets which Mozart dedicated to his "dear friend Haydn" to Mozart the string quartet's "onlie begetter". They were the fruits of long and careful study as is evident by the many alterations and erasures in the manuscript. They were written in the years 1782 to 1786, after Haydn had completed his Russian Quartets Opus 33 ("written in an entirely new and particular manner") and was composing his six Op.50 quartets, so that Mozart had much material for careful study. Quartet No.1 in G minor Mozart (1756-1791) The quartet is nicknamed The Hunt, which supposedly refers to the rhythm of the first movement one can hardly imagine Mozart taking part in such a diversion, but certainly the opening theme is reminiscent of a hunting call. To the Adagio no words can do justice. Allegro moderato Minuet and trio ● - Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) Romance (Andante sostenuto) Finale (Rondo capriccioso) (First performance at these concerts) Although Vaughan Williams is not primarily associated with chamber music he wrote more than is generally realised, the best known being the song cycle with piano quintet accompaniment: On Wenlock Edge. A striking feature of the two string quartets, composed 35 years apart, is that they coincided with crucial periods in Vaughan Williams's development. The first is dated 1908, the year of VW's lessons in Paris with Ravel, after which his style matured and his long struggle to find himself' was over (insofar

as it is ever over for a creative artist). "After 3 months" VW wrote of the Ravel episode, "I came home with a bad attack of French fever and wrote a string quartet which caused a friend to say that I must have been having tea with Debussy..." The point of the remark is especially obvious in the slow movement where the principal theme has a distinct resemblance to the one in the Debussy quartet. The work received its première in London in November 1909 and was revived in 1921 preparatory to a number of performances given in Britain and Europe by a string quartet led by André Mangeot, who was a champion of English music but, as a Frenchman, perhaps felt particularly at home with this piece. It is obvious from all his music that VW had a special affection for, and an understanding of, the viola which announces the lyrical main theme of the first movement. Although not strictly monothematic, this finely constructed movement is dominated by this theme; the official "second subject" is really a variant. The mood becomes increasingly impassioned when the second subject is used in augmentation with an accompanying triplet rhythm and subsides into a calm coda in which the interweaving of the parts anticipates the Tallis Fantasia and ends with the first violin holding a D three octaves above the chordal sequence whispered by the other instruments. The minuet is piquantly folk-songish with a trio which bows playfully to the shade of Haydn at his most rustic. The principal tune of the Romance is in 5/4 time, yielding for the middle section to triple time. There is effective use of pizzicato in this movement, but even more in the Rondo Finale where VW indulges in more 'display' writing than is his wont. If the first subject suggests that the animals are about to come in two by two, it is the viola which has the lion's share. With its swift changes of mood, its vigorous fugato section and its brilliant and ostentatious ending, ending, this movement makes a convincing conclusion to a most attractive quartet.

Quartet in C major Op.59 No.3 (1806) Beethoven (1770-1827) 80 Introduzione allegro vivace Andante con moto quasi allegretto Menuet and trio Allegro molto (Last performed in 1984 by the Eder Quartet) And so we come to the third of the opus 59 quartets dedicated to Count Razoumovsky, Russian ambassador in Vienna. We have heard all three this season and it is difficult now to believe that they did not go down well with Beethoven's public. Even Ignaz Schuppanzigh, leader of the first quartet to play his works, expressed enough bafflement to draw from the composer the retort: "Do you think I worry about your wretched fiddle when the spirit speaks to me?" All three quartets show the dramatic values that the other this period would suggest: the Eroica Symphony, the Waldstein and Appassionata sonatas, triple concerto, 4th piano concerto, violin concerto, C minor Variations and the opera Leonore, as it was entitled at that time. This "symphony for four strings" begins with 29 introductory bars in tonalities far removed from the key of C major. There is then a bar of silence before the instruments unite on a sustained chord, the viola descends a semitone and we are in C major. A preamble by the first violin and a big crescendo bring us to the joyful, even triumphal, theme with the cello pounding out C in the bass. The Andante is a profoundly moving and impressive movement in which Beethoven makes brilliant use of pizzicato in the cello part, using it sometimes to introduce, sometimes to continue, the bowed melodic line of the other instruments. The delicate grace of the Andante is again evident in the menuet, the trio being a strong contrast. The menuet leads into the finale in which the tonal resources of the string quartet are strained to the uttermost. The viola introduces the fugal theme, followed by the second violin and then the cello, all piano but working up to the forte entry of the first violin, unleashing the most vivid and powerfully dramatic finale ever written for string quartet. a a yo H N I f M 2 E F F

Sonata in F major, K332 Mozart (1756-1791) Allegro Adagio Allegro assai (Last performed in 1944 by Cyril Smith) Mozart's piano sonatas have kept their place when Haydn's have been forgotten, largely because they are so excellently written for the instrument - for Mozart, in his day, was a player of great virtuosity. The form Mozart used is generally simple and unvarying, but the sonatas have so much freshness and sweetness that their simplicity loses none of its charm by repetition. In most cases his sonatas have three movements and, in general, though most sides of his genius, wit, melancholy and passion, are found in them, it is only to a limited extent. This sonata has a very simple first movement; the second movement has delicate and elaborate melodic figuration; the last is brilliant and animated but with a quiet ending. (Note by Mrs. A. Eaglefield Hull 1944) Debussy (1862-1918) Images Book 1 Reflets dans l'eau Honnage à Rameau Mouvement (Last performed in 1979 by Bernard Roberts) Reflets was written in 1905, the year in which La Mer was first performed and Ravel published his String Quartet and Sonatine for piano- a turbulent year for Debussy, in the throes of divorcing his first wife. From Eastbourne, where he had taken his future second wife, Emma Bardac, for a holiday, Debussy wrote to his publisher that he was re-writing the Reflets "with new data and following the most recent discoveries of harmonic chemistry". The principal theme consists of three notes and the remarkable way Debussy sets these off from the fluid accompaniment marks an important modern grand piano. innovation in writing for the Hommage à Rameau, like the tombeaux tombeaux pieces of the old composers, is a tribute to the 18th century composer in the style of a sarabande. If the first Image Image is concerned with water, Mouvement, marked 'animated, with a capricious lightness but precise' must b T U E P P f a t e n d d n t t a I bo C S h

INTERVAL The Society is grateful to the ladies of St. John's Church, Newsome for providing coffee in the interval throughout the season. Prelude and Fugue No.4 in E minor and Prelude and Fugue No.15 in D flat Sonata No.8 in B flat Op.84 Andante dolce Shostakovich (1906-1975) In 1948 Shostakovich was, for a second time, in disgrace following a decree by Zhdanov against 'formalism and anti-people art', and was relieved of his Moscow professorship. From this time until his reinstatement in 1960 he wrote little of note except for the 24 Preludes and Fugues published in 1951-2. One need hardly say that they are based on Bach's 48, a vast demonstration of the resources of key. Bach did not need to defend tonality in his day, but Shostakovich, in an increasingly non-diatonic age, clearly did and this is very plainly shown in the Prelude No.15 where, though starting out as 12-tone music, the piece ends with a cadence firmly in the key of D flat. In the Preludes there is a faint flavour of Debussy as well as Bach and in the orgarnum-like bass chords of No.4 a trace of La Cathedrale Engloutie and Voiles. The four-voiced fugue is grave until the piu mosso. To quote Derek Jole: "Shostakovich has something particular to say and says it with entrancing conviction". Prokofiev (1891-1953) Andante sognando Vivace (Last performed in 1980 by Gordon Fergus-Thompson) In 1933, after 15 years abroad, Prokofiev returned to his homeland. For the leading figures of Russian culture it has

always been not only natural but a matter of pride to be identified with their nation, to take part in its life and to contribute as much as they could to solving its problems. Prokofiev was not an exception, and probably his seventh and eighth sonatas are the most mature manifestation of it. These sonatas have been called the 'War Sonatas'; indeed they were written just before and during the second world war and there can be no doubt that they reflect the feelings of the Russians in those fateful years. In the sonata No.8 the first movement has slow lyrical themes reminiscent of scenes from the ballet Romeo and Juliet, completed a few years earlier, and a development section which is instinct with the threatening sounds of war. The first section is repeated, to be followed by a coda in which conflict is again in the forefront but dissolves into a final quiet B flat chord. The second movement is peaceful, marked 'dreamy', and must surely have been inspired by the Andante of Schubert's B flat Sonata. The last movement is happy and a brilliant piece of writing for the piano. All the works in this evening's programme are by composers who were also very good pianists.
