Haydn: The Last Three String Quartets / Pražák Quartet
- PRAGA
- November 12, 2021
In 1799, Haydn undertook the composition of a six-quartet series dedicated to Prince Lobkowitz. The two quartets Op.77 nos.1 and 2 were the first outcome of this project. Kept busy by the composition of his Seasons and the Harmoniemesse, Haydn couldn't complete the entire series before his passing, but he left two fragments of a third quartet, which make up the Op.103. These three last quartets, bold and full of wit, are the final goodbye of an old master. Underscoring the handover between two generations of composers, this program pays homage to the Pražák Quartet, which continues the evolution it began in 2015, and opens a new chapter in its history.
