| | String quartet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A string quartet is a musical ensemble of four string instruments—usually two violins, a viola and cello—or a piece written to be performed by such a group. | | | Although any combination of four string instruments can literally be called a "string quartet", in practice the term refers to a group consisting of two violins (the "first" and "second" violin), one viola and one cello. | | | The standard string quartet is widely seen as one of the most important forms in chamber music, with most major composers, from the late 18th century onwards, writing string quartets. |

| | Webern didn’t live in a vacuum; he lived in Vienna — city of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, and so many more of the musical immortals — where his creations emerged in the context of one of the richest musical traditions to be found anywhere. | | | By interlacing the minute-but-intense expressions of Webern and Strand among the movements of a Mozart string quartet, the Brentano String Quartet invites listeners to reflect on how great musical creations can reach not only across genres but also across time. | | | The evanescent music of Anton Webern strikes listeners as flickering moments of intense illumination and fleeting beauty. |

| | Musical Forms - String Quartet |
| | The string quartet seemed to present few possibilities to late 19th-century composers preoccupied with the grandiose conceptions of the symphony and symphonic poem; Smetana's e Minor Quartet 'From my Life' (1876) is a rare instance of a programmatic quartet. | | | Mozart's quartets were influenced by the Milanese style of G.B. Sammartini's with their 'singing allegros' dominated by the first violin, and it was not until he wrote the set dedicated to Haydn (1782-5) that Mozart attained a fully integrated quartet style. | | | A composition for four solo string instruments, usually two violins, viola and cello. |

| | SOLI March Program Notes & Bios |
| | Anton Webern (he dropped the "von" at an early age) was by training a musicologist, by necessity an itinerant conductor of operetta, but by vocation a composer of music that seems to have little to do with either musicology or operetta. | | | Not exactly the dry, academic Webern of his reputation, and certainly worth considering as we listen to this music. | | | It may be that hearing this selection will encourage many listeners to investigate recordings of the complete Chamber Concerto, a work worthy of mention alongside the better-known Chamber Concerto No. 1 of Schoenberg, and the more recent Chamber Concerto of John Adams. |

| | CONCERT REVIEW: Artis Quartet -- Chamber Group Brings Austrian Sizzle To Kresge |
| | Although the viola did become a bit raspy during intense passages, the quartet’s surprisingly elegant use of ponticello and artificial harmonics softened the hard and post-war sonority of contemporary music. | | | Formed in 1980 in Vienna, the quartet has won numerous competitions, recorded more than 20 albums for labels such as Koch International and Sony Classical, and is an annual performer at Vienna’s Musikverein. | | | As most chamber music concerts are these days, the next piece in the program leapt 150 years into the second Viennese school with Berg’s String Quartet, a two-movement work. |

| | String Quartet (Webern) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | When Webern sent the score of the piece to Coolidge, he accompanied it with a letter saying that the piece was "purely lyrical" and comparing it to the two and three movement piano sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven. | | | The String Quartet by Anton Webern is written for the standard string quartet group of two violins, viola and cello. | | | It was the last piece of chamber music that Webern wrote (the only other works he completed before his death were the two cantatas and the Variations for Orchestra). |

| | Instead of this CD I recommend the recording with the Arditti Quartet (Disques Montaigne; this CD was released at least 3 times since 1991). | | | However, the present recording of the quartets and trios is very far from being the best one, especially concerning the early pieces (without opus-number) that sound rather unrehearsed and unexpressive. | | | Beyond the first string quartet, there are loads of vantages here from which to examine postserial music. |

| | It was a concert of cogent sensibilities from a group whose rummaging is always a delight. | | | Yet hearing them next to the slightly earlier Five Movements, one also realised that Webern, in fact, wasn't bad at expounding on his musical thoughts and the slightly less condensed expressive style - elegiac and intensely emotive as well as epigrammatic - suited him rather well. | | | But the maturity and unanimity of ensemble and musical thought are always impressive. |
