Misha.
After years
of several personal and
creative crises, the last
two years of Beethoven's
life were marked by an
irrepressible creative
urge that was directed
almost exclusively
towards the string
quartet genre.
Of
all these late works, it
is the Quartet in A minor
op. 132 that most
impressively addresses
the overcoming of the
depression of the past
years. The middle of the
five movements is
aCanzona di
ringraziamentoentitled:Ho
ly Song of Thanksgiving
of a recovered person to
the deity in the Lydian
key.
In this
movement a slow
introduction is followed
by the heading:Feeling
renewed strength. Due to
the middle movement full
ofdivine power, this
string quartet is
certainly one of
Beethoven's most
emotional
compositions.
For
this new edition of the
Quartet op. 132,
Beethoven specialist
Jonathan Del Mar
consulted the autograph
as well as several sets
of parts corrected by
Beethoven, enabling him
to correct countless
inconsistencies and
unconvincing editorial
decisions of previous
editions.
