- Where:

- Category:

Description
Speaker(s): Professor Roger Parker FBA, The Badke Quartet
This quartet is sometimes known as the "Quinten" or "Fifths" Quartet, because of the opening descending intervals in its first movement. This movement is tightly structured around the "fifths" motive, and shows Haydn at his most austere and monothematic. Respite comes in the gentle second movement, but the third (a minuet and trio) returns us to the mood of the first, with a severe canon between the upper and lower instruments.
This is a part of a series of lectures in which Professor Roger Parker resumes his collaboration with the award-winning Badke Quartet. Each of the six lectures is dedicated to a major work in the string quartet repertory. The focus this year will be on works written in Vienna in the years around 1800; three by Joseph Haydn, two by Wolfgang Amadé Mozart and one by Beethoven. Each session will begin with a lecture introducing the historical background and discussing the special nature of the quartet in question, and conclude with a complete performance of the work by the Badke Quartet.
Part of the Gresham College series of lectures.
