The String Quartet

Composers: Hermann Goetz | Leo Samama

When Hermann Goetz (1840-1876) died at the age of 35, he left twenty-four numbered compositions plus a dozen unnumbered works. A small but very high-quality oeuvre.

His String Quartet in B flat, which was written in Winterthur (Switzerland) and completely revised in 1866, remained untouched and without opus number until … 1990. A remarkable work!

 

Without a doubt, String Quartet in D major, Opus 63 from 1888 must be Niels Gade’s most important string quartet, which was incorrectly indicated as his first quartet on the title page … It was his last!
