Carte Blanche Concert I: Escher String Quartet
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Stent Family Hall, Menlo School
(see times)
The four string quartets of Alexander von Zemlinsky represent one of the most powerful cycles of the modern quartet literature. Composed over a period spanning four decades, the cycle chronicles critical points of the composer’s life and career. Following the Romantically Brahmsian First Quartet, the Second, written in response to a spurned marriage proposal, turns turbulent. In his Third Quartet, Zemlinsky departs from his earlier tonal language towards an Expressionist idiom influenced by his famous brother-in-law, Arnold Schoenberg. The final quartet is written as an homage to Zemlinsky’s pupil and dear friend, Alban Berg.
