The second of Beethoven’s Op 18 set of six quart

The second of Beethoven’s Op 18 set of six quartets finds the composer in a rather mischievous mood. He wrote it in G major, a key he occasionally used when he was in good humour. Some time after his death, the Quartet acquired the subtitle Compliments, but seems to have lost it again.

The name derived from the first movement’s opening ideas, which, in a way, are a series of ‘well balanced phrases of supple elegance’. They conjure up the notion of one being ‘in an 18th century salon, with all the ceremonial displays and flourishes of the courtesies typical of the period... [And] with bows and gracious words of greeting’.

Join the Vanbrugh for some mischief and music tomorrow night at 8pm. Tickets €10 from the link in our bio 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

The sixteen quartets fall into what has been terme

The sixteen quartets fall into what has been termed Beethoven’s early, middle and late periods. The six of the Op 18 set date from 1798 to 1800 when he was in his late 20s. The five quartets – Opp 59 Nos 1, 2, and 3 with 74 and 95 – were completed between 1806 and 1814 and although the autograph score of the Op 95 is dated 1810, it seems Beethoven made several revisions prior to its publication in 1814. ⠀
Join the Vanbrugh tomorrow night for #Beethoven250Online! ⠀

⠀
For this concert, the Irish Chamber Orchestra’s charismatic leader, Katherine Hunka, is joined by three of Cork’s finest musicians,Marja Gaynor, Cian Ó Duill and Aoife Nic Athlaoich. ⠀
⠀
Their programme is one of great contrast, the most Mozartian of Beethoven’s quartets, the A major Op.18 No.5, giving way to the concentrated drama of the Serioso quartet Op.95 in F minor.

⠀
The Quartet features four outstanding musicians who are building an impressive reputation and an exciting repertoire. Their programme is one of the most contrasted in this series: the jollity of the first movement of Op.18, No.6 and the playful eccentricity of the Scherzo, even the rueful Malinconia [melancholy] of the last movement will set the architectural majesty of the C sharp minor quartet in stunning relief.
