The editor, Engelbert Rontgen, writes in his foreword:Following a commission by the gentlemen Breitkopf & Hartel in Leipzig to produce a complete edition of Beethoven's string quartets supplied with bowing marks and fingerings, I undertook this task on the basis of the critical complete edition of these quartets, published in 1862. First of all, it seemed necessary to change the original slurring in some places to suit the bowing technique, with regard to performing and expression.In the quartets from Beethoven's early period, the performing marks often lack the accuracy and completeness that is required for an exact interplay, whereas they are given in the quartets of his later period almost everywhere with the greatest detail and precision, . Furthermore, the before mentioned scores contain a number of mistakes, which in all likelihood may have crept into the manuscripts as writing mistakes.I have therefore endeavored to carefully add the missing performing marks, as well as to correct the incorrect notes, without, however, claiming to have done everything that is questionable.Breitkopf Originals invite you to take a fresh look at 19th-century reception history.The music is printed clearly and in a larger than usual size.(Rebekah Smith, AUSTA Stringendo)

For its farewell season after 35 years, the Nomos Quartet from Hanover created a concert series in 2019 around the works by Ludwig van Beethoven, who had set standards in the field of string quartets. For this event, the ensemble commissioned a new work from Irister Schiphorst, in which the composer at first studied Beethoven's first contribution to the genre. However, her distance from the reference piece became greater than initially planned, and the question that moved centre-stage was: 'How does Beethoven's music resonate in me at all? Is it musical gestures, themes or moods?' The tonal result of this composing self-exploration is - rich in contrast, often noise-like and pushing the dynamic range to its limits - the personal reformulation of Beethovian 'pathos formulas',i. e. signs of passionate experience embodied in the universal cultural heritage.
