Mendelssohn Quartet in A minor, Op. 13
Webern Five Movements for String Quartet, Op. 5
Beethoven Quartet in F, Op. 59 No. 1: Razumovsky
The Op. 13 quartet is one of Mendelssohn’s most extraordinary and moving works – written at the age of eighteen with Beethoven constantly looking over the young man’s shoulder (metaphorically)! Webern’s five pieces are a miracle of brevity and expressiveness – they last just eight minutes. And in the second half we play the first of Beethoven’s quartets dedicated to Count Razumovsky – a symphony in all but name.
