'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 and challenging pieces of music ever
written. They have inspired artists of all kinds - not only
musicians - and have been subject to endless reinterpretation. What
does it feel like to be a musician taking on these iconic works?
And how do the four string players who make up a quartet interact,
both musically and personally? The Takács 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 Takács Quartet and the Beethoven quartets as the backbone to
his story, Edward Dusinberre, first violinist of the Takács 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 and group expression and 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 and
experimentation - a theme that lies at the heart of Beethoven's
remarkable compositions. No other composer has posed so many
questions about the form and emotional content of a string quartet,
and come up with so many different answers. In an accessible style,
suitable for novices and chamber music enthusiasts alike,
Dusinberre illuminates the variety and inherent contradictions of
Beethoven's quartets, composed against the turbulent backdrop of
the Napoleonic Wars and their aftermath, and shows that engaging
with this radical music continues to be as invigorating now as it
was for its first performers and audiences.
