String Quartet in C minor, op. 18, No.4 Quartets of op. 18 were published between 1800 – 1801. They were dedicated to prince Lobkowitz. In the Quartet in C minor, Beethoven moves towards the concerto form, an almost orchestral construction, outlined by the harmony and the cluster of secondary voices, thus allowing the first violin to dominate the scene.
Piano Quartet in E-flat major, WoO 36 No.1 The three piano quartets were written in 1785, when the composer was fifteen. He had been writing music for about half his life at that point; his father had even tried to make a Mozart-like prodigy out of his son, traveling around showing off the young musician. These quartets are interesting, though, in that the piano quartet was quite rare at the time. Mozart was writing his two quartets at exactly the same time, and they were among the very few of their kind.
String Quartet in A minor, op 132No.15 Beethoven wrote this piece (in 1825) after recovering from a serious illness which he had feared was fatal. He thus headed the movement with the words, "Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der lydischen Tonart" (A Convalescent's Holy Song of Thanksgiving to the Divinity, in the Lydian Mode).
Founded in 2005, Quarto Quartet is one of the most successful Bulgarian ensembles for classical and contemporary chamber music. Eventually, the ensemble expanded to include a clarinet and a contrabass, which made it capable of performing versatile concert programs combining works for trios, string and piano quartets and quintets. Currently, the ensemble consists of Ivan Penchev (violin), Svetlana Stancheva (violin), Tatyana Todorova (viola), Dimitar Tenchev (cello), Hristo Kazakov (piano) and Atanas Iliev (clarinet). Quarto Quartet is an official partner of the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra.
The main characteristics of Quarto Quartet’s signature style are compelling dramaturgical concepts, remarkable expressivity and unique scenic presence. Facebook Page: Quarto Quartet - The chamber musicians of Sofia
