In this all-Beethoven program, the SLSQ samples the expanse of the composer’s quartet repertoire, including Op.18, No.4, in which Beethoven challenges the conventions of the slow and dance movements; the monumental and surprising Op.59, No.1, with its Russian accents in tribute to the work’s commissioner, Count Razumovsky; and Op.127, the first of the celebrated “late quartets,” whose composition spanned the composer’s final descent into deafness.
PROGRAM
Beethoven: String Quartet No.4 in C minor, Op.18, No.4 (1798– 1800); String Quartet No.7 in F Major, Op.59, No.1 (“Razumovsky 1”) (1806); String Quartet No.12 in E-flat Major, Op.127 (1825)
