Aaaaaah, the string. Today, we’re going to visit an all-time classic and something we in
particular are very fond of. If you take a look at our program, you’ll see why this is no joke.
String quartets have an exceptionally long and meaningful history within the genre of classical
music, maybe even more so than you might initially think. I mean, the first ever known string
quartet was written in 1650. That was 373 years ago. Crazy!
But before we dive in, head first and full blast, let’s start at the beginning.
What IS a string quartett?
Glad you asked…
A string quartet is a type of chamber music ensemble consisting of four string instruments:
2 Violins, 1 Viola and 1 Cello.
Is there a specific way these instruments work together?
Yes, absolutely! Let’s look at their musical makeup first:
The Violin
The violin is the highest-pitched of the four and is often considered the “lead” instrument. It has
a bright, clear tone and is capable of producing a wide range of expressive sounds, from a
sweet, lyrical tone to a piercing, intense sound.
The Viola
Slightly larger than the violin, has a deeper, warmer tone and is often used to provide harmony
and support to the other instruments. It has a deeper, richer sound that is often used to provide
a sense of warmth and depth to the music.
The Cello
The largest of the four, has a deep, rich sound and is often used to p
A. Vivaldi (1678 – 1741):
Vier Jahreszeiten
Winter
W. A. Mozart (1756 – 1791):
Requiem KV 626
Introduktion und Kyrie
Lacrymosa
J. S. Bach (1685 – 1750):
Air on the G string BWV 1068
L. v. Beethoven (1770 – 1827):
Rondo a capriccio Op. 129
„Die Wut über den verlorenen Groschen“
