Invaluable Glimpses Schumann's close collaboration with the David quartet, together with the valuable advice of his friend Mendelssohn Bartholdy, led the composer to make extensive changes to the Streichquartette op. 41 before publication in December 1842. The present edition is hence to be thought of as a critical Urtext edition; it offers in fact to those interested, an invaluable glimpse into Schumann's creative process and his striving for the final form of his string quartets. All the deletions, changes, and the original phrasing were carefully worked out in detail, restored, and editorially identified in the music text. A detailed preface giving the geneses of the works, as well as pages of the autograph score in facsimile, complement the edition. The parts are of course so configured in the reliable Breitkopf quality that the quartets can also be performed today in the traditional form. The present edition was also used for the Leipzig String Quartet's 2010 CD recording.

Soll te man, wenn man Komponist im prominenten Sinne des Wortes sein mochte, nicht auch ein Streichquartett geschrieben haben? Dieses Genre Streichquartett - mehr ein Formbegriff als eine Besetzungsangabe - war seit seinen Anfangen das Feld eines bewusst fortschrittlichen, zum Teil experimentellen Erkundens und Probierens, in dem die gesellschaftlich-funktion ellen, an Spielern und Publikum orientierten Ziele zurucktraten; es ging, allein oder zuerst, um Musik, um ihre Eigengesetzlichkeit und Absolutheit, und nur nebenbei um das gesellige Zusammensein und Musizieren. (Wobei die Vorstellung, Quartettspiel sei wie ein angeregtes Gesprach zwischen vier vernunftigen Leuten (Goethe) immer mitwirkte und dem Gesellig-Kulinarischen Raum liess.) Im Fortgang der Musikgeschichte und ihrer avanciertesten Spitze schufen Streichquartette oft den Prototyp. Durch diese Pragung der Gattung, die sich mir als verpflichtend darstellte, verhielt ich mich reserviert; ich bin kein Entdecker, der unerforschtes Gelande kartographiert sondern vergleiche mich lieber mit einem Siedler und Bauern, der neues Land unter den Pflug nimmt. Nur - uberraschend und unvorhersehbar veranderte sich das Klima, in dem Neues entsteht. Innovationsehrgeiz, Fortschritts- und Veranderungseuphorie wichen einem gelasseneren, kompositorischen Bilden und Schaffen. So bekam ich Lust, mein Oeuvre mit einem Streichquartett zu komplettieren. Alfred Koerppen.

Miniatur: Ein komplettes Ganzes in kleiner Dimension (Zwerg, Bonsai). Oder ein reprasentativer Teil vom Ganzen ( pars pro toto ). Oder das Wesen des Ganzen (Essenz). Oder die Idee von etwas Grosserem, ein Plan oder eine Intuition - etwas, das entfaltet beziehungsweise ausgelegt werden will (Samen, Aphorismus)?... Miniatur ist kurzer als die Worte uber sie. Rainer Sievers
