	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", which usually plays the melody line in the higher register of notes, and the "second" violin, which plays lower notes in harmony), 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.

	"Calligraphies"; Three Persian String Quartets by Reza Vali
		String Quartet No. 2 was written for and dedicated to Cuarteto Latinoamericano and was first performed in Pittsburgh on April 7, 1992 by Cuarteto Latinoamericano.
		In the coda, the string instruments ascend to their highest registers converging on a unison "F" before concluding on the note "E" and therefore restoring, in retrograde, the basic cell E-F. Calligraphies and String Quartet No. 3 also denote aesthetic and stylistic shifts in Reza Vali’s music.
		The entire string quartet is based on the Persian mode of Nava which is one of the oldest modes of the Persian modal system.

		String Quartet No. 3 was written betwen 1945 and 1946 and first performed by the Zorian Quartet at the Wigmore Hall on 19 October, 1946.
		Observing that Beethoven, in his late piano sonatas and string quartets, had often alternated lengthy fugal episodes or movements with song-like utterances, Tippett did likewise here, producing three quick-tempo fugues that enclose two movements whose successive outpourings of lyricism bring the work to a kind of emotional peak.
		Just before the end of the Quartet, after a climax of conflict and dissonance has been reached, there is a sudden descent into peaceful rapture as the four instruments sing to each other: their alignment here is unusual, with the cello in its highest register and the double-stopping viola below it.

		The quartet was commissioned by Brandeis University for the Lydian String Quartet.
		The quartet recently completed a five-year project entitled "American Originals," during which they performed or recorded over 60 works of composers from the United States, often accompanying their concerts with lectures, workshops and discussions.

	BEETHOVEN: String Quartet No. 2 in G Major, Op. 18, No. 2; String Quartet No. 3 in D Major, Op. 18, No. 3; String ...
		Restorations from 1935-1938 from the HMV archives of the Budapest String Quartet, whose personnel shifted during this era to form the Russian ensemble which reigned supreme in chamber music for another thirty years.
		The Andante con moto could serve as a demonstration piece for the lush tapestry of sound and homogeneous tone color the ensemble could boast; Mischa Schneider's cello has a deep, organ sonority, often acting a tonic to the nasal tone from Roisman, as in the Presto of the D Major.
		The Adagio of the E-flat Quartet might be a valediction for the passing of the Budapest Quartet to a new incarnation with Ipolyi's imminent leave-taking; certainly the world, too, was in a state of upheaval and turmoil, even as this disc celebrates a miraculous ensemble in transition.

	Cerha: String Quartets
		His String Quartet No. 1, composed in 1989, is subtitled "Maqam." The maqam is the main modal unit of Arabic music, a collection of intervals (both tonal and microtonal) forming the basis for a composition.
		The quartet succeeds in melding European and Arabic elements into a coherent structure.
		The quartet consists of a single arch-like movement arising out of silence, marked by increasing polyphony.

	Tower Records - Schnittke: String Quartet no 3, Piano Qnt, etc / Borodin Qt
		The String Quartet No. 3 begins with quotations--a cadence from the Stabat mater of Lassus, the theme of Beethoven's Grosse Fuge and Shostakovich's D - E-flat - C - B signature motive, using them like characters in a dialog through time before processing their structural similarities into a moving synthesis.
		The String Quartet No. 3 is an extraordinary work and demonstrates why Schnittke was a remarkable "polystylist." Utilizing a plethora of idioms, most notably Lassus, Beethoven and a dash of Berg, this is a potent work of great power, wit and passion.
		The Piano Quartet is a remarkable work that combines a torso of a work by Mahler with a scherzo rewritten from a cache of uncompleted sketches.

	CD Baby: KAREL HUSA, COMPOSER: String Quartets - No. 2 and No. 3
		The string quartet is almost unanimously the first choice in chamber music by afficianados internationally, and this CD brilliantly illustrates why.
		The quartet, having worked closely with Husa and having won his praise, commissioned the third quartet which went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1969.
		Both of these quartets are no small feast for the listener's ear as they both push the internal, emotional experience into raw, gutsy and sharp-edged landscapes, colored with a brittle acidity and motivated by an unforgiving, relentless drive.

	Wilhelm Stenhammar String Quartet No.3, Op.18
		Concert pianists who venture into the realm of the string quartet often wind up writing compositions which sound like they were composed at, and are perhaps better played at, the piano.
		That Stenhammar's works show no such trait is due entirely to the fact that for nearly half of his life, he worked intimately with the Aulin Quartet, the top Swedish string quartet of its day and one of the best then performing in Europe.
		Thus it is no accident that his quartets show a fine grasp of instrumental timbre and technique.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES MP3/WMA: Tchaikovsky String Quartet
		The Tchaikovsky String Quartet was formed at the Moscow Conservatory in the early 1970s, when four students - Mikhail Gotsdiner, Andrei Oguievski, Sergei Baturin, and Oleg Smirnov - met in the chamber music classes of Professor R.Davidian, and discovered their mutual love of the quartet medium.
		In 1993, the quartet assumed the name Tchaikovsky String Quartet - in tribute to the beloved composer whose death centennial was being celebrated that year.

	Premiere Music Distributors - The Léner String Quartet: Volume 3 - Schubert and Schumann Recordings
		The Léner String Quartet has been almost forgotten, perhaps because their style of playing had been termed "old fashioned", when compared with the modern ensembles such as the Emerson and Juilliard String Quartets.
		Nevertheless, the employment of extreme vibrato was the style of playing known and approved by the romantic masters of the late 19th century.
		Among their many distinctions, they were the first ensemble to record the Beethoven String Quartets.

		Written in 1927, at the end of that fabulous "anything-goes" era when romanticism inspired modernism (think Bartok, the early Russian modernists before they were suppressed, the recently rediscovered Igor Markevitch, and the Stravinsky of the large earlier works), this work compresses tonal music to near-fl-hole density.
		The accompanying string quartet, written nearly 50 years later, is warmer and more autumnal and somewhat more astringent, from a master musician who continued to produce passionate and large-scale creations well into his 90s.
		The String Quintet that completes the disc is certainly attractive, but not nearly as memorable as the astounding Piano Quintet.

	TCHAIKOVSKY: String Quartet No. 3 in E-flat Minor, Op. 30; Quartet Movement in B-flat Major (1865) — Parkanyi Quartet ...
		The rarely heard B-flat Quartet Movement shows that the twenty-five-year-old composer had outgrown student exercises and employed folk tunes (here, Ukranian) and chorale motifs with dexterity and melodic beauty.
		Like his Piano Trio (1876), conceived as an homage or tombeau to the spirit of Nicholas Rubinstein, the E-flat Minor Quartet (1876) is dedicated to the passing of violinist Ferdinand Laub, a Bohemian colleague who had participated in premier performances of Tchaikovsky’s two prior quartets, Op.
		Tchaikovsky envied the success of Borodin’s D Major String Quartet, so he utilized Russian national tunes and harmonies, even borrowing a passing tune or two from the fourth act of his own Evgeny Onegin.

		No, please put that blunt object back down; it is not my intent to draw the righteous ire of Tchaikovsky's army of admirers upon my head.
		I have the St Lawrence Qtt CD spinning in synch, and when I switch between sources, I get the feeling that the Laurentians are playing on combs wrapped in wax paper.
		The music-making of the two quartets is in many senses comparable, but I have never really liked the St Lawrence disc, and I am enthralled with the Parkanyís here.
