DaPonte String Quartet Presents Beethoven and Korngold: A Journey from Heroic Classicism to Hollywood Romance
DaPonte String Quartet Presents Beethoven and Korngold: A Journey from Heroic Classicism to Hollywood Romance
Join the DSQ for an evening of contrasts as they performs two great works.
The program includes the second of Beethoven’s “Razumovsky” quartets, String Quartet in E minor, Op 59 no 2, a work that begins and ends in a stormy manner, similar to the Appassionata Sonata for piano and written during the same period of Beethoven’s life.
The sunny and often humorous Korngold Second String Quartet is a work which seems to reflect a 20th century nostalgia for the “old world”, including a Straussian waltz, and bears glimpses of the great film scores Korngold goes on to write in Hollywood in the ’40s and ’50s.
