Presentation
With its unprecedented harmonic audacity, the introduction to the ‘Dissonances’ Quartet astonished Mozart’s contemporaries. Whilst some musicians attempted to correct its ‘errors’, Haydn staunchly defended Mozart: ‘If he wrote it that way, it is because he had his reasons. ’ Once the initial shock had subsided, the work asserted itself with dazzling intensity. Oscillating between tension and calm, it unfolds a contrast of moods with striking vividness, bringing the cycle dedicated to Haydn to a beautiful close.
Schubert: String Quartet No. 14 ‘Death and the Maiden’
When it was first performed, the famous Quartet in D minor also baffled the audience, who were disoriented by its explosive intensity. Entirely haunted by an obsession with death, this masterpiece conveys Schubert’s anxieties as he faced his own end: a fierce struggle in which, from the first note to the last, a sense of abandonment clashes with the will to live.
