Book excerpt: Beethoven's String Quartet in C-sharp minor Op. 131 (1826) is not only firmly a part of the scholarly canon, the performing canon, and the pedagogical canon, but also makes its presence felt in popular culture. Yet in recent times, the terms in which the C-sharp minor quartet is discussed and presented tend to undermine the multivalent nature of the work. Although it is held up as a masterpiece, Op. 131 has often been understood in monochrome terms as a work portraying tragedy, struggle, and loss. In Beethoven's String Quartet in C-sharp Minor, Op. 13, author Nancy November takes the modern-day listener well beyond these categories of adversity or deficit. The book goes back to early reception documents, including Beethoven's own writings about the work, to help the listener reinterpret and re-hear it. This book reveals the diverse musical ideas present in Op. 131 and places the work in the context of an emerging ideology of silent or 'serious' listening in Beethoven's Europe. It considers how this particular 'late' quartet could speak with special eloquence to a highly select but passionately enthusiastic audience and examines how and why the reception of Op. 131 has changed so profoundly from Beethoven's time to our own.

This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Charles Rosen's landmark analysis of Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" Sonata, Opus 106, Rosen revealed Beethoven as the progenitor of a type of musical structure that may be described as “form–content relationship”. In the case of the Opus 106 it is the pervasive use of chains of melodic descending-thirds that organizes the motivic and melodic content as well as the larger structural elements of the work, resulting in an unprecedented organicism. This phenomenon of form–content relationship can be found in the Piano Sonata Opus 110 and reaches its furthest development in the String Quartet in C-sharp Minor, Opus 131. Whereas the Hammerklavier's structure is derived from a short motive, that of the Opus 131 may be said to be based on an idea, the Urphänomen (primal phenomenon), although at one important point in the work this idea is manifested in terms of a specific musical motif. This study is a detailed explication of the structure of Beethoven's Opus 131 and also explores the possible genesis of the work in terms of Goethe's morphological theories and Schelling's transcendental idealism.

Download or read book The Beethoven Quartet Companion written by Robert Winter and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Beethoven string quartets are to chamber music what the plays of Shakespeare are to drama, even seasoned concertgoers will welcome guidance with these personal and sometimes enigmatic works. This collection offers Beethoven lovers both detailed notes on the listening experience of each quartet and a stimulating range of more general perspectives: Who has the quartets' audience been? How were the quartets performed before the era of sound recordings? What is the relationship between "classical" and "romantic" in the quartets? How was their reception affected by social and economic history? What sorts of interpretive decisions are made by performers today? The Companion brings together a matchless group of Beethoven experts. Joseph Kerman is perhaps the world's most renowned Beethoven scholar. Robert Winter, an authority on sketches for the late quartets, has created interactive programs regarded as milestones in multimedia publishing. Maynard Solomon has written an acclaimed biography of Beethoven. Leon Botstein is the conductor of the American Symphony Orchestra as well as a distinguished social historian and college president. Robert Martin writes from his experience as cellist of the Sequoia Quartet. And the book is anchored by the program notes of Michael Steinberg, who has served as Artistic Advisor of the San Francisco Symphony and the Minnesota Orchestra.
