Prussian Quartets-This volume opens with something unusual: opus 42 is a single work short and surprisingly easy to play; Haydn described it as 'something small and with only 3 pieces'. The Quartets op. 50 including the so-called Frog Quartet are dedicated to the Prussian king Fried-rich Wilhelm II who was a talented cellist. Even though the 'solo' at the beginning of opus 50.1 is meant as joke there are some good passages for cellists.

These are the Parts for Eleanor's Piece composed by Hugh Wood for two string quartets. This beautiful work lasts around 3 minutes and the music includes parts for 2 Violin I 2Violin II 2 Violas and 2 Cellos. Born in Lancashire and enjoying a thoroughly musical upbringing Hugh Wood graduated from Oxford after studying History and decided that composition was his truecalling. His works are characterised by divine expressionism and subtle lyricism with Eleanor's Wood being no exception.

«Impétueux» «dramatiques» «expressifs» «magistraux» ? les commentaires relatifs aux trois quatuors à cordes op. 44 no 1?3 de Mendelssohn vont tous dans le même sens. Ce dernier les composa en 1837/1838 à une époque très heureuse de sa vie. En effet il venait de se marier bénéficiait d?une reconnaissance internationale et dirigeait les concerts du Gewandhaus de Leipzig l?un des postes les plus prestigieux du monde de la musique allemande à cette époque. Les quatuors furent composés dans l?ordre suivant: no 2 (mi mineur) no 3 (Mi bémol majeur) et no 1 (Ré majeur). Mendelssohn lui-même considérait le quatuor en ré majeur comme le meilleur ? peut-être est-ce une desraisons pour lesquelles il décida de le placer au début du recueil.

The principal post-Romantic Danish composer Carl Nielsen was born in 1865 the son of a painter and village musician. Childhood experience as an amateur performer led to subsidised study at the Copenhagen Conservatory and a long career during which he developed his own personal style of composition in particular in a series of important symphonies. This string quartet includes score and parts.

The full score for String Quartet No.3 'Angel's Music' by Bent Sørensen (1988) Premiered by the Arditti String Quartet at the Danish Radio Concert Hall 16 November 1988. Parts available: KP00249The composer writes:'Even when I was writing 'Adieu' I knew that I wished to write 'Angel’s Music'. The title existed in an incomplete form in my mind and gradually more and more ideas and a few outlines became clear. The actual work on 'Angel’s Music' was started in Rome where I spent the autumn of 1987 staying at 'The Danish Academy'. Whether this stay has influenced the quartet or not is impossible to say. however it is true tosay that in the Roman churches I visited I saw countless angels playing in the top of frescoes and altars. Without these angels together with the many crackled-gold paintings in this city and my general fascination with the Italian renaissance painter Fra Angelico (in fact there are only a few paintings by him in Rome but even his name..!) I am not sure my quartet would have been what it is. Anyway I do feel that there is a bit of Italy in the piece. The angels apart there are in the short rhythmic agitating part of the quartet reminiscences of the Italian medieval Trotto dance and in the most expressive part of the piece there are flashes of Puccini-like music. From the very beginning of my work on the quartet the distant extremely muted sound in the high register which opens the piece was on my mind. A sound satiated with a dense heterophonic and polyphonic texture of elegiac melody and vibrating trills. I imagined that 'little songs' (maybe angel songs) could be created in this density these songs constantly echoing themselves. Gradually as this sound got a more and more concrete musical and instrumental form I felt that not only should the 'little songs' be created played and die out in an echo but also that the general pattern of the quartet should give the feeling of music which from the distance is getting closer and

String Quartet No.3 was written for and first performed by the Balanescu Quartet February 1990 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall London. Duration 16 minutes. A score is available on sale..Quoting composer: In the summer of 1989 Icomposed a choral work Out of the Ruins for Agnieszka Piotrowska’s BBC2 documentary which dealt with the physical and emotional responses of some inhabitants of Leninakhan to the earthquake which devastated Armenia theprevious December. When he heard the recording of the work that I made with the Holy Echmiadzin Chorus under the fervent conducting of Khoren Meykhanejian Alex Balanescu suggested turning Out of the Ruins into a string quartet. There seemed no reason or opportunity to do this until I felt the need to add to the intensity of my experiences in Armenia the no less profound experience of witnessing the images of the Romanian revolution on television duringthe later part of December 1989.The compositional procedure was as follows: to take Out of the Ruins as a template on which the Romanian vocal or instrumental music would be superimposed quite often stretched into newintervallic shapes though the demands of the completely performed harmonic structure.
