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.

Such is the character of the accordion that any work featuring its distinctive voice within an ensemble is likely to be a piece d'occasion. Written for the prizewinning young soloist Milos Milivojevic and performed with the Juritz String Quartet at the 2011 Machynlleth Festival in Wales, Rhian Samuel's Mist on the Hills is no exception. The composer has used the rare opportunity of writing for the instrument in combination with solo strings to exploit its illustrative powers and create a fourteen-minute score inspired by the changing weather over the hills around her Welsh home on the Dyfi Estuary.

In particular, its three movements are suggestive of the appearance of mist in the landscape, 'settling', 'lingering' and 'swirling'. In the first movement, which is a gentle prelude, brief accordion motifs break through the timbre of strings like glints of sunshine through mist. The second movement, more song-like, presents three verses of a lament; in the first half of each verse the accordion sings as if from afar, while in the second half (led by the viola) the music intensifies greatly. In the dance-like and virtuosic last movement a short, constantly changing refrain alternates with two types of material: 'swirling' music and lighter, more rhythmical ideas. Finally, scale passages invade the texture, ceasing only as the accordion ascends to the top of its range in the closing bars.

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.
