The first afternoon concert of the year presents one of the most famous works ever composed for string quartet, Dvo?ák’s “American”. Dvo?ák composed the string quartet in America, directly after completing his Symphony no. 9, “From the New World”. Bright tones and optimism can be found in abundance in this masterpiece of rhythm, form and structure. The composer himself believed that the string quartet was his greatest work, in which he composed his finest melodies.
The concert’s second part features a work by Hungarian Ern? Dohnányi, who had a long career as a composer, professor and conductor. He composed his sextet Opus 37 in 1935, which with its unusual combination of piano, violin, viola, cello, clarinet and horn was also his last piece of chamber music.
