About this event
Beethoven+ Concert 5
BEETHOVEN String Quartet No. 1 in F major, Op. 18 no. 1 IRIS TER SCHIPHORST Und doch… BEETHOVEN String Quartet No. 7 in F major, Op. 59 no. 1
This season launches with Beethoven’s first published string quartet - loaded with wit, charm, counterpoint. The opening of the Opus 18 set showcases all that Beethoven learned from his predecessors, and looks forward to ways he would change the genre forever. German composer Iris ter Schiphorst began composing Und doch… with Op 18 No 1 as a point of reference, resulting in “an attempt to draw a very personal trace of memory with my possibilities and my language.” The concert concludes with the first of Beethoven’s Razumovsky quartets, a revolutionary work that expanded the scope and possibilities of what a classical string quartet can be.
