Inhalt
“I wrote the String Quartet Concerto in the middle of 1933, just after the Concerto for Violoncello after Monn. Immediately prompted by the Kolisch Quartet, which also played the premiere performance in Prague, it realizes a part of my intention to present individual instruments with new technical problems. I will go further down this path with a concerto for piano and another for violin. It was not my concern to derive new colors or sonorities from an instrument, though this result could hardly fail to appear. I wished rather to employ hitherto unused possibilities, fingerings, methods of playing, the mastery of which would enable the instrumentalists to play modern themes and melodies perfectly.” (Arnold Schönberg, 1935) Compared to the original, there are numerous additions of parts, insertions, and reharmonizations, especially in the third movement. In some places the tempi are radically reinterpreted as well, above all with tempo changes that fragment the setting. The recording of the US premiere in Los Angeles is one of the rare audio productions of Schönberg’s works that were rehearsed under his auspices. (Text: Arnold Schönberg Center)
