Gust
av Jenner (1865-1920), a
student of Brahms', wrote
only three string
quartets. The Third
String Quartet in F major
was completed in 1911 and
premiered by the Rebner
Quartet. Common to all
Jenner's Quartets is his
way of infusing the
classical model with his
own musical language,
both on an intellectual
plane and from a
technical point of view.
True to the tradition of
the genre, the classical
form of the string
quartet is retained,
without however showing
itself to be a constraint
in the completion of the
cycle. What stands out is
the sophistication of
detail and the purity of
form achieved through
integration of the
elements of composition
and nuances of mood.
