Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The similarities between Maurice Ravel's only work for string quartet, the String Quartet in F major, and Claude Debussy's only work for string quartet, the String Quartet in G minor, Op. 10, can hardly be avoided or ignored. During the early years of his career, Ravel was frequently and sometimes vehemently criticized for having copied Debussy, and it was only later that musical society began to realize that, in the realm of piano music at least, it was equally possible that Debussy had imitated his younger colleague. With the String Quartet in F, composed in 1902 and 1903 and then revised up to 1910, however, Ravel seems more certain to have relied on Debussy's 1893 Op. 10; as emotionally, psychologically, and even structurally different as the two works are, one could never accuse them of having a language barrier. But, whereas Debussy's quartet is the work of a headstrong progressive still on his way to developing a mature, personal style, Ravel's is the work of an already mature artist more concerned with craftsmanship and traditional structure than with innovation. Not surprisingly, given their relative places in their careers when the two composers wrote their string quartets, Ravel's is the more sound piece of music and Debussy's is the more groundbreaking. Incidentally, Debussy, by all accounts, adored Ravel's piece, and though it makes the cut by just a couple of years, it is probably the most oft-played string quartet of the twentieth century. Ravel dedicated it to his teacher, Gabriel Fauré. Ravel's String Quartet is in four movements: Moderato très doux, Assez vif-Très rythmé, Très lent, and Vif et agité. The opening movement's pianissimo second theme is as hollow and melancholy as the first theme is warm and inviting. In the second movement, which serves as the Quartet's scherzo, Ravel moves into the pizzicato world already explored by Debussy in the scherzo movement of his String Quartet; the central portion (one hesitates to call it a "trio section") calls for the players to put mutes on their instruments. Bits of music from earlier in the Quartet can be heard, wearing new clothes, in the slow movement; likewise in the finale, which plunges straight into a frantic 5/4 meter bombast at its start, lightens up in the middle, and then ends in a blaze of zeal. - Blair Johnston on allmusic.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the opulent decade of the 1890s sang itself to a close, Chausson's works were being heard across Europe. In November 1898 the piano quartet, Soir de fête, and extracts from music for The Tempest were played in Brussels, as his friend d'Indy conducted Soir de fête in Barcelona. The Concert, for piano, violin, and string quartet (featuring Ysaÿe and Pugno) and the Poème for violin and orchestra, were given in Paris in January 1899, as Viviane wowed audiences in Lille, Reims, Prague, and Moscow. Jeanne Raunay sang the premiere of the Chanson perpétuelle, dedicated to her, on January 29. The symphony was performed at the beginning of the year in Athens. Chausson was catching on with a public beyond the select audiences of the Société National de Musique or Cercle XX. Amid his smiling final works, the morbid Chanson perpétuelle -- recalling the Liebestod obsession of the 1880s that worked itself out in the Poème de l'amour et de la mer -- is explained by Raunay's insistence. To his friend Arthur Fontaine he explained, "Just now I'm writing a gloomy mélodie for Madame Raunay. She doesn't come off badly. I am nothing if not understanding. It is about the violent despair of love. I'm not at all in the mood. Then, what of sincerity? Is this a hoax? Or do I stage a coup? Not at all. I discover. I feel the pain I would have felt if I were in this situation and I feel it so much more being happy" (November 7, 1898). A photograph from this period shows Chausson on the steps of his home on the Boulevard du Courcelles, Paris, surrounded by, among others, Mathieu Crickboom (dedicatee of Chausson's quartet and leader of the prominent string quartet that bore his name), Ysaÿe, d'Indy, and Fauré -- a stellar gathering. On July 12, 1898, Chausson wrote to Crickboom, "I'm working on a string quartet for you...I believe that it is neither Franck, nor d'Indy, nor Debussy, but I fear that it takes wing a bit from Beethoven. In the end, it is really not such a bad thing to take wing from him a bit." The first movement was completed on October 25; the second on April 1, 1899; and the third substantially completed by May 24. Chausson was killed in a bicycling accident on June 10. D'Indy rounded the movement off with a brief recapitulation and Chausson's String Quartet was premiered at an SNM concert on January 27, 1900. - Adrian Corleonis on allmusic.com
