SCHUBERT  Violin Sonata in A Major D. 574 ▪ 1817

  ~ exquisite music, balancing the contrasting influences of Beethoven and Rossini with his own lyricism—arranged by August Wilhelmj for string quartet

As Michael Parloff put it, “The entire work is an unbroken stream of graceful, beautifully crafted melody, reflecting his quintessential genius for song” with “a final Allegro vivace…as a whirling Viennese waltz.” Schubert was Viennese through and through. He was born in Himmelpfortgrund, a district of Vienna, he lived much of his life in the city, and he died there. When he was away from Vienna, he would soon miss it. He would pine for his beloved Vienna and its life, his friends, the theaters, and cafes.

“Ensemble Connect makes a chamber music concert an immersive experience … providing insights into the composer, the work, and the players’ approach … few do it better,” writes Seen and Heard International. In this enlightening program—featured in Carnegie Hall’s Fall of the Weimar Republic: Dancing on the Precipice festival—the ensemble explores Berg’s dramatic Lyric Suite, a string quartet that achieved immediate and lasting popularity long before the discovery of its hidden origins and the illicit affair baked right into its score. Also featured are an early (and for decades unheard) string quartet by Gershwin; a string quartet written by Kurt Weill while he was under the tutelage of Busoni; and Schulhoff’s stylistically fluid Concertino.
