In his early years, Franz Lachner (1803-1890) was one of Schubert’s friends: ‘Schubert and I, we spend most of our time together working on new compositions. We are best friends, play our works for one another in the morning and open-heartedly discuss every possible subject in depth.’ The Third String Quartet in E flat major, opus 77, is a prominent example of Lachner’s great composing skills. The String Quartet in f minor, by Robert Volkmann (1815-1883), came into being about fifteen years after Lachner’s piece. It is one of his most successful works in this genre.

In producer Leo Samama’s overview book ‘Het Strijkwartet’ (AUP 2018), little attention was paid to composer Carl Czerny (1791-1857). We will now do him justice. The String Quartets in D major and A minor probably date back to the last decade of Czerny’s life, somewhere between 1850 and 1857. The tone and composition of Quartet D major is more classical than the passionate and particularly melodious Quartet A minor. It may very well be that Czerny’s choice of pitch classes was representative for the characters of the quartets which was a common approach in the 18th century.

In the summer of 1842, Robert Schumann (1810-1856) composed the three quartets Opus 41. In these works, he ingeniously navigated between the great examples of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven — ‘Beethoven who kept creating until his dying breath is to us an example of human greatness , but in Mozart’s and Haydn’s vineyards too there are heavily-laden trees which cannot easily be ignored ‘— but without losing sight of Schubert’s epic expressiveness and Mendelssohn’s melodious charm.

Even though Robert Schumann (1810-1856) became renowned because of his highly romantic, literary and technically virtuous piano works, he was, at the same time, the creator of impressive orchestral compositions and extraordinary chamber music. In the summer of 1842, he created his three String Quartets Opus 41, dedicated to his friend Felix Mendelssohn. It even seems as if the three quartets together should have formed one large quartet in 12 parts. This would have been Schumanns ultimate test and explains why the three times 4 parts are so different, but yet so closely connected. Bernhard Molique (1802-1869) was a composer contemporary with Mendelssohn and Schumann, but rather an heir to his tutor Louis Spohr. His music has similar features as that of George Onslow, but contains a somewhat archaic minuet that seems to have come from Haydn’s days.
