Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven completed his String Quartet Op.135 at Wasserdorf Castle in Gneixenhof, where he sought to recuperate with his nephew Karl after the latter?s failed suicide attempt in summer 1826. It stands out among his late quartets owing to the often cheerful, almost pastoral character of its four movements. Since Beethoven?s death it has often been interpreted as an attempt to take wise and positive stock of the mishaps that had befallen him in the preceding years regarding his life situation, family and health. This interpretation is strongly suggested by the final movement, ?Der schwer gefasste Entschluss? (The Difficult Decision), with its motto ?Must it be? It must be! It must be!? The editing of this quartet proved especially complex, for the authentic sources were reworked at various stages by the composer. By judiciously assessing them, editor Jonathan Del Mar has managed to clarify many anomalies found in previous editions. - Beethoven?s final string quartet with many new readings - Introduction by Misha Donat (Eng/Ger), editor?s foreword by Jonathan Del Mar (Eng/Ger) and a scrupulous, separately published Critical Commentary (Eng) / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

After a twelve-year interval Dvo ák once again turned his attention to the String Quartet in summer 1893. He had been musical director in New York since autumn 1892 and spent the summer in Spillville (Iowa) where agroup of Czech immigrants had settled thus making him feel at home. The beautiful natural surroundings led him to write this unconventional String Quartet in the tradition of Beethoven?s ?Pastoral? even down to the imitation ofbirdcalls. Since the first performances certain rhythmic and melodic characteristics have been traced back to the influences of the folk music of Native Americans and African Americans which led to the soon popular workbeing called the ?American Quartet?. For the first time since 1955 the Quartet is once again being published in an Urtext edition.

Spielend for two violins was written during the summer and early autumn of 2003 and is based on the idea of the two instruments not only playing the instruments but also playing in the sense of sport i.e. playing their themes off against each other and playing with the musical material. There are times for instance when they seem to be having a contest to see who can finish the themes first or who can divert the other’s attention to a new texture or rhythm. The title the German word for 'playing' also refers in a way to the composer himself exploring the themes harmonies and rhythms - particularly notable in this respect is the large central slow section which contraststwo altered reminiscences of the Violin Sonata of Poulenc (a composer whose music is very dear to me) with the gradual expansion of a fugue from two parts to eight (four in each violin). Fugue after all is in a sense an example of a composer making sport however seriously with the themes.So the work is a kind of extended musical pun lasting about fifteen minutes in all and being performed without a break. Though the central section is slow the outer ones are quick and energetic emphasizing especially the idea of activity and vigour - the ending however may catch the unwary listener by surprise.The first performance was given by Philippa Mo and Peter Sheppard Skærved in Leighton House London on 7th May 2004.'John McCabe's new 'Spielend' strikes me as a miniature masterpiece: a highly charged 15-minute piece in which the violins chase or echo each other in a thousand different ways including a fugure in which as with Bach two instruments seemed to suggest a dozen voices.'            - Richard Morrison The Times 11/05/2004
