One of the great things about string quartets is the incredibly vast and varied repertoire available to us; when we build our program for the year we really do feel like kids in a candy store. We’ve taken some of our favourite works as cornerstones for our concerts this year; Debussy’s sole string quartet, Beethoven’s epic Opus 130 with the original Grosse Fuge final movement, Schubert’s string quintet and in this concert Brahms’ second quartet. We’re also looking forward to our new commissioned quartet from Andrew Ford, and the modern classic you’ll hear tonight by Dutchman Louis Andriessen, a particular favourite of one of our members!

We begin our first concert for 2013 with Mozart’s Quartet K499 Hoffmeister, a joyful work showing Mozart seemingly relaxed and at ease whilst existing in the highest realm of creativity and stylistic mastery. It was a quest for this standard of mastery that led the great saxophonist Charlie Parker to take improvisation to previously unimagined levels of detail and virtuosity, which decades later inspired Andriessen to write Facing

Death. It’s a string quartet unlike any other, a world of be-bop licks and unified virtuosity that cascades through almost a thousand bars of music to an unrelenting finish.

Johannes Brahms was not necessarily practising the 10-hours-a-day that Parker was to hone his incredible skills, but he was approaching his composition with the same uncompromising musical rigour. He spent many years working over his string quartets, as for him the genre carried a great historical burden. His second string quartet offers the labours of this strain, with lush textures and beautiful melodies woven together through strictness of form and structure.

Due to a minor finger injury Rachel won’t be able to join us on this first tour of the year, but she is healing well and we are looking forward to reuniting with her in our second subscription tour. We welcome Michelle Wood player for the Tinalley String Quartet, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra to join us for this concert.

And a very warm welcome to you too!

Wolfgang Mozart (1756-1791)

String Quartet in D major, K499, Hoffmeister

AllegrettoMenuetto (Allegretto)AdagioAllegretto

In November 1785, Mozart wrote to his fellow composer and Freemason Franz Anton Hoffmeister:

‘I turn to you in my distress and beg you to help me out with some money which I need very badly at the moment.’

Mozart had enjoyed several years’ success as performer and entrepreneur. Things changed in 1785 for reasons that are not entirely clear. His activity as a piano virtuoso practically ceased and he threw himself into the composition of instrumental works and stage works.

During his time as a freelance virtuoso and impresario, Mozart had composed chamber music ‘on spec’, such as the so-called Haydn Quartets, written over a two-year period. What surprised Mozart, even more than Haydn’s ecstatic response to the pieces, was that they sold: his publisher Artaria gave him 450 florins (the same fee as for Figaro!) for the set.

In 1785, Hoffmeister (1754-1812) had recently set up his own publishing house (which would become the famous firm of C.F. Peters) with a catalogue that included works by Mozart, Haydn, Pleyel and Hoffmeister himself. A month before receiving Mozart’s plea for a loan, he

had published Mozart’s Piano Quartet in G minor, which the public found a little abstruse (a reviewer in Weimar noted that it ‘this musica di camera can and should please only musical connoisseurs’). Undaunted, Hoffmeister not only published Mozart’s next Piano Quartet, but continued to issue editions of eleven other works of Mozart’s, including the String Quartet K499 in 1786.

The Quartet K499 is Mozart’s only one between the six Haydn Quartets and the incomplete set now known as the Prussian Quartets. In the works dedicated to Haydn, Mozart assimilates his colleague’s ability to balance popular and more ‘learned’ manners. In the work for Hoffmeister this is explored further, to the evident approval of the publisher, whose sales pitch described ‘that fire of the imagination and that correctness which long since won for Herr M[ozart] the reputation of one of the best composers in Germany...The Minuet, usually a simple dance movement, was ‘composed with an ingenuity (being interwoven with canonic imitations) that one not infrequently finds wanting in other such compositions’. Mozart scholar Maynard Solomon calls the piece ‘uncompromising’, which it surely was in the musical climate of 1780s Vienna. But that is also its chief joy: here Mozart shows his amazing ability to create intricate structures while not losing sight of a directness of utterance.

loUIS ANDRIeSSeN

Louis Andriessen (born 1939)

Facing Death for four amplified stringed insruments

In 1990 Reinbert de Leeuw and the Schoenberg Ensemble recorded Louis Andriessen’s De Staat. Composed between 1973 and 1976 for four singers and a large band of winds, violas, harps and electric guitars and bass, De Staat was the work in which Andriessen turned away from the now-orthodox avant-garde to create a distinctive kind of minimalism. ‘A contribution to the discussion about the place of music in politics’, it sets sections of Plato’s Republic that deal with music. During the recording sessions, Andriessen had a conversation with producer Ruth Dreier about the roots of the work’s style. ‘Early bebop and cool jazz’ he explained, have influenced me very strongly, much more than Mozart, Bach and Brahms. When I was a teenager, I improvised a lot on the piano, playing with friends. I found great freedom in jazz, even anarchy, in the music of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis...Playing be-bop on string instruments is of course impossible, it’s unidiomatic, but it could be interesting...

So interesting, in fact, that in Facing Death, composed for the Kronos Quartet at this time, Andriessen experimented with a string sound derived directly from be-bop — specifically that of Charlie Parker (who once approached Edgard

Varèse for composition lessons.) In the early 1950s Parker, Gillespie, Davis and Thelonious Monk pared back the ‘Big Band’ sound in favour of small groups. The melody instruments, like Parker’s saxophone, or the trumpet of Gillespie or Davis, were to the fore, accompanied by often sparse, but sophisticated, harmony and intricate percussion work. Furthermore, bebop songs were often ‘contrafacts’, works in which new melodies were composed or improvised over the chord progression from an existing standard. Parker’s famous hit, Ornithology – a play on his nickname, ‘Bird’ – is built on the chords of How High the Moon by Morgan Lewis, and Facing Death, in turn, derives from characteristic licks from Parker’s piece.

These are heard at the outset, as sinuous, complex melodies, played in octaves by the whole quartet. Gradually the harmonic element is added, often as punctuating pairs of astringent chords, and the melodic material is progressively shared out as solo passages. Midway through the piece there are intimations of a more serene contrapuntal music. These hints are developed, but only ever as glimpses through the more active texture, though with a brief, high-lying sequence of chords in the latter part of the piece. Facing Death ends energetically, raging, perhaps, against the dying of the light.

JoHANNeS BRAHmS

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)

String Quartet in A minor, op 51 no 2

Allegro non troppoAndante moderatoQuasi minuetto, moderato - Allegretto vivaceFinale: Allegro non assai

Brahms’ natural diffidence meant that his first official string quartets, op.51, only appeared when he was 40 and, like Mozart’s Haydn Quartets, they were the ‘fruit of long and laborious study’. There is some evidence to suggest that he began writing them as early as 1865; there were some rehearsals in 1869 after which Brahms again tinkered with the scores before reluctantly ‘finishing’ the works in 1873 and allowing them to be published. In all, there had been an eight year gap in Brahms’ composition of chamber music.

Not that Brahms hadn’t been busy. In 1866 he had made his first of several concert tours with the violinist Joseph Joachim, a partnership of inestimable value to Brahms, whose knowledge of the technique of string playing increased dramatically – to bear fruit, of course, in the later Sonatas and Concerto written with Joachim in mind. It was, in addition, the time of the German Requiem, and of Brahms’ decision to settle permanently in Vienna from 1869 after some years’ peripatetic existence.

There he was prevailed upon to become director of the Gesellschaft

der Musikfreunde, a choral/orchestral society, in 1872. During his three-year tenure composing had to be concentrated during the spring and summer months, and Brahms almost always left town (usually without a forwarding address). In the summer of 1873 he found himself at Tutzing on the Starnbergersee in Bavaria, where he was in good spirits and overwhelmed by the scenery. The results, musically, were the completion of the opus 51 string quartets and the two versions (for orchestra and for piano) of the Variations on a theme of Haydn. (Actually the theme is not Haydn’s.)

But it’s Beethoven, rather than Haydn, whose work Brahms evokes in his pair of quartets. The first is in Beethoven’s ‘pathetique’ C minor; the second is in A minor, as is Beethoven’s op.132. Brahms’ op.51 was dedicated to the Viennese surgeon Theodor Billroth, but it seems that the A minor work was to have been for Joachim with whom Brahms fell out during the summer: its opening theme is based on the notes F-A-E, reflecting Joachim’s motto Frei aber einsam (free, but lonely). The work, like Beethoven’s op.132 moves from gravity to gaiety and Karl Geiringer notes that

‘The composition recalls Beethoven in its spiritual atmosphere, in the strict discipline of its musical thought, and in the wonderful transparency of the setting for stringed instruments.’
