HUDDERSFIELD MUSIC SOCIETY The eightieth season of the Society opens with a visit by the Russian pianist Ilya Itin. Winner of last year's Leeds International Pianoforte Competition, Itin's programme includes works by Chopin, Messiaen and Prokofiev. There are three very special string quartets, each making their first appear- ances with us. First of all the World-renowned Takacs Quartet from Hungary will be performing Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven (op 59 No 1). In Decem- ber we welcome the New Leipzig Quartet to play Haydn, Brahms and Janacek (No 1). Our last concert features the Schidlof Quartet, named after the violist of the Amadeus Quartet, who are establishing a splendid reputation for them- selves. In November we have our first opportunity to welcome the young baritone Paul Robinson accompanied by Julian Milford. As well as helping us to cel- ebrate Schubert's bi-centenary, they will be performing Wolf, Fauré, Poulenc and Britten. Martin Roscoe is our second pianist of the Season, and we particularly look forward to his performance of Schubert's last Sonata. Making a welcome return visit to us is the Gould Piano Trio. They will be joined by the clarinettist Robert Plane to perform the Messiaen Quartet for the End of Time. Season Tickets will be on sale at our March and April Concerts, priced at last year's rates as follows: Double Season Ticket: Single Season Ticket Students £57 £30 £10 (£60 after April 30th) (£32 after April 30th) If you are not on the mailing list, please give your name and address to our Treasurer Michael Lord (310104) 14 Garsdale Road Newsome Huddersfield HD4 6QZ. The Committee would like to take this opportunity of thanking in particular the Season Ticket holders for their past support of the Society's Programmes. It goes without saying that we rely upon a continuance of this committed at- tendance in order to permit arrangements of the present calibre, and that we welcome additions to our regular audiences.

Monday 29th September 1997 ILYA ITIN piano Programme Polonaise-Fantaisie in A flat op 61 Four Mazurkas op 30 Barcarolle Le Baiser de l'enfant Jesus Chopin T Enom Messiaenom Prokofiev Sonata no 8 in B flat op 84 Ilya Itin first came to the public's attention in September 1996 when he swept the board of all the major prizes in the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition. Not only did he receive the first prize but he was the recipient of the Contemporary Music award and won the television viewers' poll. He was born in 1967 and studied at the Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinberg) Music School for Gifted Children under Natalia Litvinova and gave his first professional recital at the age of five. After continuing his studies at the Tchaikovsky State Conservatoire in Moscow and appearing in recitals and with the orchestras of the former Soviet Union, he moved, in 1990, to New York where he won first prize and the Chopin Prize in the Robert Casedesus Competition in Cleveland. He made his BBC Prom debut in August of this year, Playing the Grieg Piano Concerto with the BBC Phiharmonic. nq eq

Polonaise-Fantaisie in A flat op 61 Chopin (1810-1849) The Polonaise is a stately Polish national dance in simple triple time, probably originating in the 16th Century. Many composers from Bach to Schubert, used the form, but Chopin's, in which he found an outlet for his feelings for his native Poland, are outstanding. The Polonaise-Fantaisie was written in 1845/46 and is a much more extensive and complex work than the earlier lighter Polonaises. Chopin performed only for his close circle of friends and musical peers and each performance would vary slightly as he improvised on the central structure. The work expresses his passionate involvement with the sufferings of his countrymen under Russian domination. Four Mazurkas op 30/1 to 4 1836/37 1 in C minor; 2 in B minor; 3 in D flat; 4 in C# minor Chopin The Mazurka was one of Chopin's favourite and most characteristic genres, represented by more than 50 pieces, dating from 1830 to the end of his life. The four op 30 were dedicated to Polish-born Princess Maria Warttenberg, whose thé-dansants for children at the Blue Palace in Warsaw had often been attended by Chopin. Barcarolle in F# op 60 Le Baiser de l'enfant Jesus Chopin Messiaen (1908-1992) Messiaen's music, which is amongst the most influential and idiosyncratic of the century, is a compound of his deep Catholic faith, his celebration of human love, his love of nature and his interest in synaesthesia (the sensation of colour evoked by sounds). His harmony, deriving from Debussy's use of 7ths and 9ths and modal progressions of chords, is rich and chromatic, and his treatment of rhythm new, involving irregular metres, some of them originating in ancient Greeksvel procedures. Messiaen was born in Avignon and studied composition at the Paris V t

He was imprisoned by the Germans during the war for two years and after his release in 1942 he was appointed teacher at the Paris Conservatoire. In 1943 he wrote the vast 20-movement keyboard symphony "Vingt Regards sur l'enfant Jesus" of which "Le Baiser" is no 15 - a mystical poem bearing in the score as a sub-title the words "At each communion the Child, Jesus, sleeps with us beside he door, then throws it open upon a marvellous garden and rushes out into the bright light to embrace us". Interval of 20 minutes Sonata no 8 in B flat op 84 Andante dolce; Andante sognando, Vivace (Last performed in 1989 by Hugh Tinney) Prokofiev (1891-1953) 2 Prokofiev wrote nine piano sonatas and left a tenth unfinished. Like the sixth and seventh the eighth was begun in 1939 but was not completed M until 1944. The composer had spent fifteen years abroad but was now settled in his native Russia whose leading cultural figures felt it a matter of pride to be associated with their nation and to contribute as much as possible to solving its problems. These three sonatas are called the "War Sonatas" and must surely reflect Russian feelings in those dreadful years. The 8th Sonata has obvious associations with some of his scores for opera and ballet - the opening movement suggesting Natasha's theme in War & Peace and the second at first rather Schubertian movement recalling "Romeo & Juliet". But alongside these lyrical connections there is much percussive aggression and fierce virtuosity; particularly is this so in the final movement - an exhilarating tarantella with a savage march-like middle section

Formed in 1975 in Budapest, the quartet's talent was quickly recognised when they were awarded the first prizes at the Evian and Portsmouth International Competitions. Since 1983 the quartet has held a residency at the University of Colorado, and in 1988 it received a similar appointment at the Guildhall School of Music. They have played several times at the Salzburg, Berlin, mostly Mozart and Ravinia festivals, and this year at the Aspen, Tanglewood, Cheltenham and City of London Festivals. They have given Schubert and Bartok cycles in many cities, and Beethoven cycles are scheduled for 1999/2000. They record very actively for Decca.

Quartet in C Op 33 No 3 (The Bird) Haydn (1732-1809) Allegro Moderato; Scherzando - allegretto; Adagio; Finale - Presto (Last performed in 1987 by the Chilingirian) Although often called the "Father of the Symphony" Haydn could perhaps be described with greater accuracy as the founder of the string quartet. With over eighty compositions for this medium, and no obvious forerunners of significance, the composer may truly be said to have established it. This quartet is one of a set of six written in 1791 and dedicated to the Grand Duke Paul, who visited Vienna at this time. Haydn said that these were written "in an entirely new and particular manner". The end of the domination of the first violin was complete and all instruments have an equal share in importance. One reason for this quartet's name "The Bird" is found in the grace notes heard in the principal subject of the first movement, and another the bird- like duet in the tiny trio. But throughout the work one can find a grace and delicacy reminiscent of the birds. Quartet in D K 499 (Hoffmeister) Mozart (1756-1791) Allegretto, Menuetto and Trio, Adagio, Allegro (Last performed in 1954 by the Vegh Quartet) Mozart's string quartets are sharply divided into two groups: the 15 early quartets written between 1770 and 1774, and the 10 "great" quartets - the six dedicated to Haydn, this lone quartet, and the 3 "Prussian" quartets all written between 1782 and 1790. In their form and style these quartets were much influenced by the model of Haydn, as Mozart was in turn to influence the older composer. This quartet demonstrates the mastery and brilliance of Mozart's handling of the medium. Starting with a unison passage the first movement 1 1

> 1 0 0 develops into a dialogue between various combinations of instruments. "The Minuet is unique In the main section each instrument seems to enact its role unconcerned with the others; the Trio, in the minor, is a piece of musical wizardry" (Einstein). The Adagio contains an almost unbearable depth of sorrow, and resolution of the element of despair comes only at the end of the final movement. Interval of twenty minutes Quartet in F Op 59 (Rasumovsky) No 1 Beethoven (1770-1827) Allegro, Allegretto vivace e sempre scherzando; sonst dier Adagio molto e mesto; Thème Russe (Last performed in 1988 by the Lindsay Quartet) Beethoven was the third of the four great "Viennese" composers who developed the string quartet up to the late 1820s. He had already shown his complete mastery of the medium in the 6 quartets of the Op18 set. However with the three quartets of Op 59, written six years later and dedicated to the Count Rasumovsky, the Russian ambassador to Vienna, we have entered a different universe. In this, the first of the set, the range of the instruments and the dynamic contrasts are increased beyond belief. In particular the first violin spends a great deal of time at the very top of the instrument. The work is almost twice as long as any previous quartet by the composer, or for that matter Haydn or Mozart. There is greater freedom and complexity in the use of the musical forms. The first movement starts with a deceptively simple tune given by the cello and developing into a long paragraph of melody. The second is not divided into the usual scherzo and trio sections, although containing elements of each. The third is one of the most moving adagios written by the composer. Over the original manuscript he wrote "A weeping Willow or Acacia tree over my brother's grave". The closing cadenza leads to the last movement, based upon a Russian folk tune.

Settings from Schwannengesang D 959 Schubert (1798-1828) Liebesbotschaft Love's Message Kriegers Ahnung Warrior's Premonition Frühlingssehnsucht Spring Longing Ständchen Serenade Aufenthalt Resting Place In Der Ferne Far Away Abschied Farewell With over 600 songs for solo voice and piano, encompassing an astonishing range and universality, Schubert may be regarded as the most accomplished song writer ever. These seven settings of poems by Ludwig Rellstab form part of a group of songs published posthumously by Haslinger in 1829. Although they contain no particular connecting thread, it is thought that the composer himself had wished the Rellstab songs to be published as a whole. There is evidence that the poet intended the songs to be set by Beethoven, by whose executors they were passed to Schubert. Selection from the Italian Songbook Gesegnet sei, durch den die Welt entstund Geselle woll'n wir uns in Kutten hüllen Schon streckt' ich aus im Bett die müden Glieder Ein Ständchen Euch zu bringen Hugo Wolf (1860-1903) If Schubert was the supreme composer of the German lied, there are many who consider that Wolf ran him at least a close second. The Italienisches Liederbuch consists of forty-four songs written between 1890 and 1896. Despite the title, there is nothing Italianate in the musical settings of these songs, except for the suggestion of a guitar in the accompaniment of Ein Ständchen. The translations from the original Italian were made by Paul Heyse Interval of twenty minutes.

> S ง 1 In 1891 Fauré visited Venice for the first time. He wrote to a friend "What a country! And what a life we are leading! The tranquillity I need for working is not to be found here, but the tiny scrap I've sketched out, to a text by Verlaine, could perhaps turn into something when I get back to my Paris den." Mandoline sets the dreamy, shadowy atmosphere for the following love songs. En Sourdine is the incontestible masterpiece of the cycle, a song of intense and tender lyricism. Green is mischievous, a high-spirited declaration of feeling. À Clymène offers a kind of portrait of the beloved. C'est l'extase brings all these elements together, making use of themes heard earlier. Poulenc (1899-1963) Le Bestiaire Le Dromadaire The Dromedary La Chèvre de Thibet The Tibetan Goat La Sauterelle The Grasshopper Le Dauphin The Dolphin L'écrevisse The Crayfish La Carpe The Carp Composed in 1919, these are amongst the earliest of Poulenc's many settings of his contemporary, Apollinaire. The composer shared much of the irreverent wit, sarcasm and tender lyricism that characterise the music of Eric Satie. Yet even though this work was originally scored for accompaniment by flute, clarinet, bassoon and string quartet, it would be a mistake to regard it as a latter-day Carnival of the Animals "To sing Le Bestiaire with irony and knowingly is a complete misunderstanding. Such a performance would show no comprehension of Apollinaire's poetry and my music. From Le Bestiaire I sensed a sure but mysterious link with Apollinaire's poetry."(F.P.) Folk-song Arrangements Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) The Foggy-foggy Dew, The Sally Gardens, The Plough Boy. Britten wrote 6 volumes of British folk-song arrangements, and these three are amongst the best known and loved. Much of their appeal lies in the originality of the piano accompaniments.

G J Haydn (1732-1809) Quartet in D major Op 20 No 4 Allegro di molto: Un poco adagio - affetuoso: Menuetto alla Zingarese: Presto scherzando.000M (First performance at these concerts) Between 1768 and 1772 Haydn wrote the three sets of quartets Op 9, Op 17 and Op 20. Although he had written early quartets over ten years previously, these sets represent the first he had composed in the full flush of a mature style of quartet composition. In the "Sun" Quartets of Op 20, in particular, he attained the distinctive range of tone-colours which we have come to expect from the combination of all four string parts. The first movement is remarkable for its spirit and gravitas. The second, a theme and variations in D minor, ends in a moving coda. In the third and fourth movements the composer drinks deeply of the well of folk music, which influenced and inspired him greatly. The third movement is gloriously syncopated, and the last bubbles over with hilarity. Quartet No 1 (Kreutzer Sonata) Janáček (1854-1928) Adagio con moto: Con moto: Con moto, vivace, andante: Con moto, adagio (Last performed in 1993 by the Prazak Quartet) Undoubtedly the most outstanding Czech composer since Smetana and Dvořák, Leoš Janáček developed an original and highly personal musical style which reached its fruition in his late works, which include his only two string quartets. As Kodály and Bartok studied and made use of their native Hungarian folk music, so Janáček looked to the folk heritage of his country. At 69 years of age, Janáček wrote this work at the request of the world- famous Bohemian Quartet and completed it in nine days a wonder indeed! He drew his inspiration from the controversial Tolstoy novel Kreutzer Sonata, in which the heroine, unhappily married, throws herself into the arms of an unworthy lover, and dies tragically. However the ―

( 0 · J quartet is not intended to describe the events of the book but rather to express the composer's personal stand against the ill-treatment of women: "What I had in mind was the suffering of a woman, beaten and tortured to death...." Much of the music is built up of tiny motivic cells which are repeated, developed and varied within an apparently free structure, involving frequent changes of metre and tempo and making use of effects such as "sul ponticello tremolo". The overall effect is of strong dramatic and emotional intensity. INTERVAL OF TWENTY MINUTES Quartet in B Flat Op 67 Brahms (1833-1897) Vivace: Andante: Agitato (Allegretto non troppo): Finale Poco allegretto con variazioni (Last performed in 1935 by the Griller String Quartet) This quartet was completed in 1876 and dedicated to the composer's friend Engelmann, a professor in Utrecht, and himself a capable cellist. It is a work of close knit texture. The opening movement, with its horn-like first theme, has many changes of rhythm, with swift and frequent transitions between the major and minor modes. In contrast, a smooth theme is heard twice in the development section. The second movement opens with a broad and stately melody, which is interrupted by a bolder and more agitated section. The viola has the most important part in the third movement, the other strings being muted. It must be remembered that the viola was one of Brahms' favourite instruments, and that he wrote for it with unusual understanding and affection. This movement ends with the quietest of codas. The Finale consists of a short theme with variations; again the viola is prominent. The horn theme from the first movement is re-introduced.

Dvořák (1841-1904) Piano Trio in E minor (Dumky) Andante-vivace: Lento maestoso-allegro: Poco adagio-vivace: Andante moderato-allegretto scherzando: Allegro: Lento maestoso-vivace (Last performed in 1990 by the Prometheus Ensemble) A Dumka is a form of Slavonic folk ballad which juxtaposes intense melancholy and wild gaiety. In this trio Dvořák lets the spirit of Dumka permeate the entire work, giving it the title in the plural form, and giving coherence to what is in effect a sonnet series of movements. The work was composed in winter 1890/91, Dvořák himself being at the keyboard for its first performance. Every movement has a change in tempo, emphasising the duality of the form, and each movement is in a different key. The composer never surpassed the brilliance of the piano writing in this work and has given the string players magnificent parts to play. Elégie Josef Suk (1874-1935) (First performance at these concerts) Born in Southern Bohemia, Josef Suk was a fine violinist, and at the age of seventeen he became one of the founders of the famous Bohemian Quartet. He studied under Dvořák and married his daughter. The Elégie was written in 1902, to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of Julius Zeyer, a 19th Century Czech writer. Originally scored for violin and cello, accompanied by string quartet, harp and harmonium, it was subsequently re-scored for the version heard tonight. INTERVAL OF TWENTY MINUTES Quatuor pour la Fin du Temps Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) (Last performed in 1990 by the Prometheus Ensemble) Born at Avignon, Messiaen studied at the Paris Conservatoire under Dukas and Dupré. He was a religious mystic of the most extreme type, and his works (choral, piano, organ and orchestral) reflect this. His unique methods of composition have strongly influenced younger French

composers, making him one of the most outstanding figures of twentieth century French music. In particular he was influenced by Hindu music, especially its rhythms. Much of his work displays his deep love of nature, with inspiration derived from birdsong using an almost literal transcription of it at times. A prisoner of war for two years, Messiaen wrote his End of Time Quartet in a Silesian prison camp, where it received its first performance, on borrowed instruments, in the bitter winter of January 1941. The composer himself was at the piano. The printed score contains a quotation from chapter X of the Revelations of St John the Divine: - "I saw a mighty angel come down from heaven clothed with a cloud; and a rainbow was on his head and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. He set his right foot upon the sea and his left foot on the earth, and standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven and swore by Him that liveth for ever and ever, saying: THERE SHALL BE TIME NO LONGER: but in the days of the trumpet of the seventh angel, the mystery of God shall be finished." 1. Crystal Liturgy. Clarinet and violin play florid lines "like a bird" over ostinatos in chords for the piano and in harmonics for the cello. 2. Vocalise for the angel who announces the end of time. The outer sections represent the majesty of the angel, and the inner "the impalpable harmonies of the heavens". The cascading chords of the piano are the raindrops in the rainbow. 3. Abyss of the birds for clarinet The abyss - the sadness and desolation of time; the birds - our longing for light, stars, joyful sounds. 4. Intermezzo - a scherzo without the piano 5. In praise of the Eternity of Jesus for cello and piano. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was in God, and the Word was God". 6. Dance of Fury for the seven trumpets. The sound of the four instruments in unison is intended to represent that of the trumpets. 7. Cluster of Rainbows for the angel who announces the End of Time. 8. In praise of the immortality of Jesus for violin and piano carries us aloft in timelessness to eternal peace with God.

Sonata in C minor Hob XVI/20 Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Allegro moderato: Andante con Moto: Allegro Haydn composed over 60 keyboard sonatas. Of these only a few later works are regularly performed, and the rest are neglected - as many would say, unjustly so. This C minor sonata was composed in his middle period, round about 1780. The two outer movements are contrasted types of Sturm und Drang and flank a serene Andante. The first contains sufficient thematic material to rival a Mozart piano concerto, and the last is "an unrelenting outburst of impassioned rhetoric expressed in terms of the utmost formal cohesion and great technical virtuosity." (John Mc Cabe) Sonata in Bb major D 960 Schubert (1797-1828) Molto moderato: Andante sostenuto: Scherzo allegro vivace conne delicatezza - Trio: Allegro ma non troppo It is believed that Schubert's last three sonatas were composed between May and September 1828, and that the fair copy was made only a few weeks before his death. As Alfred Brendel has pointed out, all three sonatas are closely related thematically. But they are entirely different in character. The first movement of D 960 sounds valedictory. Yet, as the immediate cause of Schubert's death was typhoid, it seems unlikely that he had any inkling of his imminent demise. The hymn-like first theme is interrupted by a mysterious low trill on Gb followed by a pause. This descending motif Gb (or G)-F permeates the entire movement. The second movement continues the melancholy hymn-like serenity of the first, in A-B-A form, much as in the Adagio of the String Quintet. The solemnity of the Trio contrasts with the fluency of the Scherzo. The final movement opens with a G octave which recurs before each restatement of the main theme. It is interesting that Beethoven used a similar device in his last completed work - the substitute finale of the Bb quartet op 130. 1

s INTERVAL OF TWENTY MINUTES THOT Szymanowski (1882-1937) Scheherezade: Tantris the Clown: Don Juan's Serenade Masques op 34 Of Polish origin, Szymanowski was born to a wealthy family living in the Ukraine. He studied at the Warsaw Conservatoire where he met and became a member of the "Young Poland" group, devoted to the revival of music of a specifically Polish character, a style which had been eclipsed following the death of Chopin 50 years earlier. In fact Szymanowski was to become the leading exponent of Polish music in his generation. His early style was largely influenced by the spirit of Chopin, and by Scriabin. Masques was composed in 1915 and 1916. The opening movement depicts in many variations a single seductive mood. Tantris is based upon Ernst Hardt's distortion of the Tristan theme, and depicts musically the antics of a crossed lover. The third movement consists of music of an improvisatory character, surrounding the central Serenade.

Born in Paris in 1862, Debussy was interested in the relation of music to the other arts, and was an admirer of the contemporary Art Nouveau and the paintings of Turner. He extracted the maximum amount of colour from the piano.

They have also gained much critical acclaim for their quality of tone and wonderfully warm interpretations. Named in memory of the of the distinguished violist Peter Schidlof, its members come from Russia, Israel and England, and draw on their wealth of experience as international soloists, chamber musicians and competition winners. The Schidlof Quartet's extensive performances include appearances at Wigmore Hall, (four sold out performances), South Bank Centre, Symphony Hall Birmingham and many other major venues throughout the UK. Festival visits include Dartington International Summer School, Harrogate International, Spitalfields, Warwick, Kings Lynn and Norfolk & Norwich Festival where they have been appointed Associate Quartet, the first association of its kind. Overseas the Quartet has been invited to France, Holland, Israel, Russia and Switzerland (including a major Brahms Centenary Festival in Geneva). They have also toured to the Czech Republic for the Prague International String Quartet Festival and Italy for Festival RomaEuropa, both supported by the British Council. As Quartet in Residence at the De Montfort University they present highly acclaimed series in Leicester, Lincoln and the University campuses across Central England. The National Federation of Music Societies invited the Quartet to take part in their Concert Promoters Network for the 1996/97 season, where their increasing reputation has led to numerous concerts. Through their commitment to music education and the future of audiences for chamber music, they have started the National Education Programme for the London String Quartet Foundation. The Quartet has been broadcast on BBC Radio 3, Classic FM and have recently embarked on a series of recordings for Linn records. Their first CD of Shostakovich was recommended in Critics Choice of the Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph, and was selected in BBC Music Magazine Critics Choice for 1997. In January 1998 they were invited to perform a programme of Mozart Chamber Music at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with Murray Perahia.

Quartet in C major, Op 76 No 3 (Emperor) Haydn (1732-1809) Allegro: Poco adagio cantabile: Minuet & Trio: Presto (Last performed in 1990 by the Vanbrugh Quartet) The quartet which embodies Haydn's Austrian National Hymn (composed a few months earlier) needs little introduction, though the greatness and popularity of the hymn tend to diminish the impact of the other movements. There are many interesting features of the work - the thick texture of the first movement where there is an unusual amount of double stopping - the finale in the minor key until the final coda - the fact that the minuet and the finale begin with the same four notes. The variation movement is the heart of the matter, yet with simple variations, in which the theme is taken up by the instruments in turn, the variations being contained in the differing accompaniments. Quartet No 4, in D Op 83 (1949) Shostakovich (1906-1975) Allegretto: Andantino: Allegretto: Allegretto (Last performed in 1982 by the Coull Quartet) Shostakovich wrote fifteen string quartets, his first appearing in 1938, immediately after the fifth symphony. The fourth quartet is wholly lyrical. The principal material of the opening movement is like the bagpipe music of some Eastern culture, but as only Shostakovich would have re-created it; the use made of the modal inflections and the frenetic pitch of intensity arrived at after only 30 bars are very characteristic. There is perfect timing in the way this passage leads to a warm expressive section, the effect of which is greatly to modify and subdue the bagpipe music when it returns. The Andantino, in F minor, is one of the most heart-warming of all Shostakovich's slow movements, an ardent lyrical expression with prominence given to the first violin. Instead of a scherzo, there is a classical allegro in C minor, and this is followed by a very individual finale, in which the strains of an Eastern (Caucasian?) Folk music are invoked. For the most part sparsely textured, but with a central climax that is almost orchestral in character, the finale is based on a number of short re-iterated ideas which are combined in various ways, rather in the manner of a closely controlled improvisation.

(0) :) 0 1 INTERVAL OF TWENTY MINUTES Quartet No 15 in A minor, Op 132 Beethoven (1770-1827) Assai sostenuto - Allegro: Allegro ma non tanto: Molto Adagio - Andante: Alla marcia, assai vivace-Piu allegro-Presto: Allegro appassionato (Last performed in 1987 by the Endellion Quartet) The first movement starts with a slow introduction, the principal motif of which appears in various guises during the subsequent allegro. Its unorthodox form was described by Vincent d'Indy as "three separate expositions, interrupted by developments of the introductory theme"; but it is rather in a loose sonata form, ending in a long coda. A second subject has a serene but pleading, almost Schubertian nature. The second movement is rather like a slow scherzo. It is thematically related to the preceding movement, with an upward-bearing motif followed by a descending one. The trio is another manifestation of "bagpipe" music, although based further west than the example of Shostakovich, being reminiscent of the musette. This quartet was much influenced by Beethoven's serious illness during the winter of 1824/25. The third movement is entitled "A song of thanksgiving, in the Lydian mode, offered to the divinity by a convalescent". It has two constituents - a chorale which has five lines, and is heard three times, and a more animated section headed in the score "feeling new strength" which appears twice. A short march movement follows. The fifth movement was originally intended to be the finale of the ninth symphony and it is interesting that like its choral successor, it is preceded by an instrumental recitative. It is in rondo form, with an impassioned waltz-like refrain. The movement is in the mood of dogged determination so typical of Beethoven. In the final coda the pace quickens to Presto, and the key changes from A minor to A major.
