The String Quartets of Joseph Haydn

Pages : 394
Book Description
Renowned music historians Floyd and Margaret Grave present a fresh perspective on a comprehensive survey of the works. This thorough and unique analysis offers new insights into the creation of the quartets, the wealth of musical customs and conventions on which they draw, the scope of their innovations, and their significance as reflections of Haydn's artistic personality. Each set of quartets is characterized in terms of its particular mix of structural conventions and novelties, stylistic allusions, and its special points of connection with other opus groups in the series. Throughout the book, the authors draw attention to the boundless supply of compositional strategies by which Haydn appears to be continually rethinking, reevaluating, and refining the quartet's potentials. They also lucidly describe Haydn's famous penchant for wit, humor, and compositional artifice, illuminating the unexpected connections he draws between seemingly unrelated ideas, his irony, and his lightning bolts of surprise and thwarted expectation. Approaching the quartets from a variety of vantage points, the authors correct many prevailing assumptions about convention, innovation, and developing compositional technique in the music of Haydn and his contemporaries.

Haydn: String Quartets, Op. 50
Author: W. Dean SutcliffePublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521391032
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
The Op. 50 string quartets contain some of the purest writing Haydn ever accomplished. In this first full account of these six quartets Dean Sutcliffe evaluates the Op. 50 in relation to Haydn's more frequently performed quartets and considers their relevance to the composer's wider output. A lucid and accessible discussion of the music emphasises the unity of each quartet: not only motivic unity, but unity also of texture, articulation, harmony and syntax. Each quartet is described in detail. The informative background provided by Dr Sutcliffe includes a brief history of the string quartet, and an assessment of Haydn's earlier works in this genre and of his role at Esterhaza. The description of the composition and publication of the Op. 50 quartets is based on the evidence of Haydn's surviving letters and the recently discovered autograph copies of Nos. 3 to 6 - a discovery which is vividly documented here for the first time.

Book Description
The 68 quartets of Joseph Haydn form a corpus that is large enough that few performers and listeners are likely to become equally familiar with all of them, yet foundational enough to the quartet repertory that all are certainly worthy of some amount of performance and appreciation. Unlike the quartets of Beethoven and Shostakovich (bodies of work small enough to be programmed and recorded as a block) or Mozart, Schubert and Dvořák (where the chronologically latest are generally the ones favored), Haydn's 68 don't cohere or break out as cleanly in terms of popularity, despite their extensively studied stylistic evolution and well-documented chronology. Upon closer examination, however, the publication history of the quartets offers a significant clue to ascertaining their relative popularity. The anthology known variously as Thirty Celebrated Quartets or 30 berühmte Quartette first appeared in print in 1918 to the editorial credit of Andreas Moser and Hugo Dechert, and has, through numerous republications, become the ubiquitous set of parts to inhabit the music stands of quartet players of all backgrounds. Part 1 outlines the publication history of Haydn's string quartets, places this anthology in context thereof, and attempts to (at least partially) account for the choice of contents therein. Part 2 employs a discometric approach to assessing the impact that this anthology has had on contemporary reception of "Papa" Haydn's legacy. As this discographic analysis will demonstrate, in the eyes of performing groups, record companies and the listening public alike, not all Haydn quartets are created equal. By shining scholarly light on this differential reception that some Haydn enthusiasts might take for granted, the broader objective is to challenge the canon-perpetuating forces that ultimately do not serve to advance our collective appreciation of this master's work, and of the medium with which he is inextricably linked.
Mozart: The 'Haydn' Quartets
Author: John IrvingPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521585613
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
The six string quartets dedicated to his friend Joseph Haydn represent a turning point in Mozart's compositional development. In addition to providing a full synopsis of each quartet this book examines the music in relation to Mozart's earlier quartets, considers the genesis of the six 'Haydn' quartets through close examination of the autograph revisions and looks at contemporary eighteenth-century analytical models. John Irving also charts the reception of the quartets, drawing upon a broad range of sources: Mozart's letters and diary entries, early newspaper reports, harmony/compositional textbooks, contemporary criticism and early biographies.
