Consone Quartet
A Trip to Vienna
Vermeer Chamber Concerts
The first period instrument string quartet to be selected as BBC New Generation Artists, the Consone Quartet return to present a programme of rarely heard works by well-known composers of the first and second Viennese schools. The autograph manuscript of the Haydn was lost until 1982, when in Melbourne, Australia it was presented to Christopher Hogwood in a plastic bag! The Schoenberg quartet is an early unpublished work, classically structured and clearly influenced by Dvorak, who Schoenberg greatly admired at the time. Webern was studying with Schoenberg when he wrote Langsamer Satz, often described as a post-Brahmsian masterpiece. It was inspired by his infatuation for his cousin, who later became his wife, and is written in his earlier Romantic style.
