Dvorak – Schulhoff – Verdi - Schedule, Program & Tickets

16 string quartets were composed by Antonín Dvořák. His Opus Number 9 is a very pretty early work by him and contains a poignant slow movement. Partly quite gloomy, the end breaks all the more radiant. Also in 1873 was Verdi's only string quartet. In Italy, where this genre was not in fashion at all, it had a hard time, despite operatic elements. Today, it is considered the only 19th-century chamber music work composed in Italy that really matters. As a tribute to the Schulhoff Quartet, to which the first violinist of the Vienna Philharmonic, Milan Šetena, has belonged, the Steude Quartet plays the Divertimento by the Jewish pianist and composer Erwin Schulhoff from 1914.
