Three Viennese composers put their personal stamp on the string quartet. Mozart’s is one of six he dedicated to Haydn, paying homage to the master while also looking ahead to the dramatic and harmonically daring quartets of Schubert. Schubert’s grandly scaled string quartet is a work of profound depth and a vast range of emotions. If much of the power of Schubert’s quartet is found in its great breadth, Berg’s compels with late-Romantic luxury.
Pre-concert talk starts at 6:30 PM in Zankel Hall with members of the Tetzlaff Quartet, in conversation with Jeremy Geffen, Director of Artistic Planning, Carnegie Hall.
