Quartet in C is in four movements with a total duration of about 25
minutes. The opening Allegro is Dvor?k-ish in its lyricism, though
there is a darker, more brooding atmosphere towards the close. It
is tempting to detect a hint of folk-song in the theme of the
Andantino, played by the viola, but that may be stretching
hindsight too far. The movement has a wistful melancholy that
carries over into the following Intermezzo, a song-like episode
containing some of the most virtuosic writing in the work.
The last movement is a theme and six variations with a fugal
ending. The theme is ballad-like with a suggestion of 18th century
elegance. Modality creeps into the second Adagio variation and
there is rhythmic exhilaration in the succeeding Presto. What can
be admired in this attractive quartet is its conciseness.
This String Quartet was his first major composition of any kind.
Titles: Allegro * Andantino * Intermezzo * Variazione con finale
