String Quartet
The term string quartet can refer to either a type of musical composition or a group of four people who play them. Many composers from the mid-18th century onwards wrote string quartets. The associated musical ensemble consists of two violinists, a violist, and a cellist. The string quartet was developed into its present form by composers such as Franz Xaver Richter, and Joseph Haydn, whose works in the 1750s established the ensemble as a group of four more-or-less equal partners. Since Haydn the string quartet has been considered a prestigious form; writing for four instruments with broadly similar characteristics both constrains and tests a composer. String quartet composition flourished in the Classical era, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert each wrote a number of them. Many Romantic and early-twentieth-century composers composed string quartets, including Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Antonín Dvořák, Leoš Ja ...

Lyle Chan
Lyle Chan is an Australian composer known for his unique approach of writing cumulative works with only one work per genre. He has described his music as a diary or memoir, particularly of emotions. “I call it a perpetual work in progress," he has explained. "As a composer, I only write these very, very long pieces. What I figured out, early on, is that I don't actually like writing beginnings and endings. And then I realized why, which is that they're not real. I think that, as an artist, you create one work, which is the work defined by the life that you lead and the experiences that you have." "The music were my diaries, a way of writing down feelings. As a composer I think of music as the sound that feelings make." These cumulative compositions have highly abstract titles such as ''Orchestra with Solo Instruments'' and ''Solo Piano'', but each is made up of self-contained sections with more descriptive titles. Four such sections have received high-profile media coverage: ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Günter Raphael
Günter Raphael (30 April 1903 – 19 October 1960) was a German composer. Born in Berlin, Raphael was the grandson of composer Albert Becker. His first symphony was premiered by Wilhelm Furtwängler in 1926 in Leipzig. From 1926 to 1934 he taught in Leipzig, but illness and the rise of Fascism – he was declared a " half-Jew" – made this difficult for him. For surviving the Nazis while managing his illness he was awarded the Franz Liszt Award in 1948. His students include Kurt Hessenberg. His compositions include five symphonies, concertos for violin and for organ, six string quartets, numerous solos and duos for strings and winds with and without piano of which several have been recorded. Raphael also composed organ, piano and choral works. He was also responsible for arranging a performance version of Antonín Dvořák's '' Cello Concerto in A major'' (1865) when its piano and cello score was discovered in 1918. He was also an editor of classical and baroque scores for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
