' They are not for you but for a later age!' Ludwig van Beethoven on the Opus 59 quartets Beethoven's sixteen string quartets are some of the most extraordinary & challenging pieces of music ever written They have inspired artists of all kinds
- not only musicians
- & have been subject to endless reinterpretation What does it feel like to be a musician taking on these iconic works? & how do the four string players who make up a quartet interact both musically & personally? The Takacs is one of the world's pre-eminent string quartets Performances of Beethoven have shaped their work together for over forty years Using the history of both the Takacs Quartet & the Beethoven quartets as the backbone to his story Edward Dusinberre first violinist of the Takacs since 1993 recounts the exhilarating challenge of tackling these pieces Beethoven for a Later Age takes the reader inside the daily life of a quartet vividly showing the necessary creative tension between individual & group expression & how four people can enjoy making music together over a long period of time The key the author argues is in balancing continuity with change & experimentation
- a theme that lies at the heart of Beethoven's remarkable compositions No other composer has posed so many questions about the form & emotional content of a string quartet & come up with so many different answers In an accessible style suitable for novices & chamber music enthusiasts alike Dusinberre illuminates the variety & inherent contradictions of Beethoven's quartets composed against the turbulent backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars & their aftermath & shows that engaging with this radical music continues to be as invigorating now as it was for its first performers & audiences
