The Belcea Quartet is a regular guest in our programmes. This time, the four musicians are performing string quartets by Beethoven and Schönberg – composers they have been working with for a long time. They have released a complete recording of the Beethoven quartets, and in this concert they present his op. 131, a work that he obviously worked on particularly extensively: More than 600 pages of sketches have been preserved. Schönberg's Quartet No. 1 is also a key piece: it was written in 1905, and although it is officially in D minor, the music already suggests that this tonal language would soon develop in the direction of atonality.
