We can draw from them characteristics common to music from across the Rhine: structure, power, explosiveness and virtuosity. Listening to the three slow movements makes us measure the evolution from classical style to romantic style. The purity and equality of the choral writing in Haydn's *Adagio sostenuto*, the interiority of feeling in the sad lament of Beethoven's *Adagio molto e mesto* and the sweet and dreamy melancholy of Mendelssohn's *Andante espressivo ma con* *moto*. @@ -14,9 +13,8 @@ MORCEAUX : NOM : Beethoven COMPOSITEURS : Beethoven +DURÉE : 1:50 with intermission DESCRIPTION : -1:50 with intermission - > Do you really think I give a damn about your miserable little violin when the Muse speaks to me?

Brahms' universe: tender then sensitive, generous and finally fiery. Shostakovich's: mysterious, then intense until shock and obsession before resignation in the face of mourning. Finally Ravel's: dreamy then whimsical and luminous which becomes melancholic before an explosive finale. @@ -42,9 +39,8 @@ MORCEAUX : NOM : Champagne COMPOSITEURS : Mozart, Mendelssohn, Ravel +DURÉE : 1:50 with intermission DESCRIPTION : -1:50 with intermission - Discover a sparkling, effervescent and luminous repertoire.

Today they are considered masterpieces of the repertoire. Beethoven played a major role in the development of the string quartet. Through his sixteen quartets composed over nearly thirty years, he pushed the boundaries of the genre, sharing his deepest feelings. During its creation, the 7^th^ quartet encountered the incomprehension of both the public and the performers. To the violinist Radicati, who told him it wasn't music, Beethoven replied: “It's not for you! It's for times yet to come.” |
