Shostakovich Quartet No. 1 in C, Op. 49
Smetana Quartet No. 1 in E minor (‘From my Life’)
Composed in the aftermath of Stalin’s Great Terror, Shostakovich’s long-delayed first quartet is a deceptively innocent affair. In complete contrast Smetana’s first quartet is painfully autobiographical, its last movement famously representing the tinnitus that led to his deafness.
This concert will be followed at 2.30pm by Quatuor Danel Seminar: Emulating the Classics
