Although
structurally it
subdivides into five
movements, the entire
quartet emerges as one
vast continuum. There are
no formal breaks between
movements. However,
certain musical signposts
can be discerned,
associated with each of
the movements'
terminations and new
beginnings. The opening
movement, The Nostalgia
of Clanging Bell
Sonorities, begins
floating on recurrent Bbs
whose soft rhythmic flow
slowly puts into motion
strong undercurrents
suggestive of the latent
power of water... After
several suggestions of
tolling bells, the
movement gradually fades
into hushed tones of
veiled and very distant
sonorities. It uses a
unique efffect, for the
first time in a musical
context, conveyed through
the use of extra heavy
practice mutes. The
second movement, The
Spill of Water ,
disengages itself from
the first through its
distinct contrast in
tempo. Water moves fast,
and when it splashes, it
tends to run wildly. In
this case, it happens to
be bubbly water that
gushes forth bodly...
smashing across rocky
shorlines. So, too, the
music attempts to conjure
such moods. At the end of
this movement, a cello
cadenza emerges,
introducing an
introspective type of
melodicism. The third
movement, The Poignancy
of Memory, contains many
silences as it tries to
convey memory through
fragmented remembrances
much like often occur in
our dream state.
Progressing through
several slowly building
images, it gradually
works itself into
juxtaposition of musical
images. Towards the
movement's end, high
harmonics are sounding in
all four instruments
while left hand pizzicato
notes in the cello pluch
the last remembrances of
this central core. Almost
imperceptibly, the viola
assumes leadership as it
dissolves into: The
fourth movement, The
Fluidity of Motion, which
has mostly the viola, but
also the cello,
articulating lyrical
statements against the
sheets of sound conjured
up by the two violins
playing a flood of
swirling figures, evokes
a kind of static motion
in spae. Here, the
virtually imperceptible
manner in which this
hushed whisper continues
incessantly, can suggest
the potential fluidity
with which movement may
inch forward... Later
into the fourth movement
, two fairly extended
solos by the second and
then the first violins,
lead to a kind of
spontaneous dialogue
among the four
instrumentalists.
Eventually, this musical
conversation gets caught
up in: The fifth
movement's The Rush of
Time, which opens with a
hushed flurry of speed,
precipitates the Finale.
It generates, at first
slowly, but then very
swiftly, whole shifts of
rhythmic fields that
initially seem to
conflict with one
another. Ultimately, this
use of 'psycho-rhythmics
contributes to an on-rush
of motion and time.
Rhythmic changes are, at
times, abruptly
precipitated with but
little or no preparation
creating a kind of
inevitability in forward
thrust, while the
movement rushes forward
with a feeling of gradual
and continuous
acceleration. It gathers
density as more and more
notes are piled
progressively upon
successive beats. The
attempt is to spark
tension and ignite
excitement by means of
frenetic confrontations
of dissimilitudes.
Ultimately - with the
help of time - these
polarities centrifically
spin out their own
destinies with their
accompanying fall-out and
own inevitable
resolutions.

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.

Sepp
o Pohjola (b. 1965)
composed his fifth string
quartet, lasting about 20
minutes, in
February-March 2018. He
was inspired to write it
by a visit to the Vincent
van Gogh Museum in
Amsterdam the previous
year, where he was
greatly impressed by the
vast, comprehensive
retrospective and
especially the
horrifyingly honest
self-portraits. The soft
opening tones bear an
instruction alluding to
Schonberg's Verklarte
Nacht string sextet: the
quiet music must be
richly shaded. The notes
in the canon-like part
writing almost always
change at different
moments in each
instrument, with a longer
or shorter delay. The
independent lines weave
tightly together. The
only dynamic is forte for
minutes on end in the
powerful closing section.
Duration c. 20 minutes.

String Quartet
No. 1 is a powerful
and harmonically dynamic
string quartet in four
movements. It mixes both
tonal and dissonant
musical landscapes in an
elegant way. The quartet
may also be experienced
as a kind of
coming-of-age story.
After the calm first
movement’s
confident simplicity of
youth, the second
movement reflects the
increasing complications
and conflicts of young
adulthood, with fraught
exploration, the
discovery of possible
romance, and new tensions
now replacing the
youthful calm. The third
movement reflects on
maturity and the
experiences of love and
loss, before the
finale—a set of
complex chromatic
fugues—evokes the
fight against fate and
time to achieve
one’s goals in
life. The
movement’s end
briefly recapitulates the
first movement,
suggesting that
ultimately life comes
full circle as we see the
totality of our
experience. As LA Opus
music critic, John
Stodder, said about this
work, The protagonist
discovers the presence of
life's purpose. String
