SCHOTTEdition SchottSenfter, JohannaString QuartetF sharp minorEdited by Wolfgang BirtelFor a period of 50 years, the composerconcerned herself with thestring quartet genre, from QuartetNo. 1 in D minor Op. 4, composedshortly after the turn of the century,to the sixth and last Quartet inC minor Op. 115 which was performedfor the first time in 1960,one year before her death. TheQuartet in F sharp minor Op. 28 isher second quartet which waspremiered in Darmstadt on 5November 1922. In this work, asin later works, Senfter combinedtraditional form models – hereBaroque movements like gavotte,saraband, gigue – with expressive,late Romantic musical language.The work, consisting of sixshort movements, may withoutdoubt be regarded as a valuableaddition to the quartet repertoire.score and partsGrade: advancedISMN 979-0-001-17647-7ED 21076£ 46.99 / € 54,99NovemberSCHOTTEdition SchottLarcher, ThomasIXXU2nd String Quartet (1998-2004)This extremely virtuoso stringquartet setting uses its threemain sections to describe a wayfrom the imaginative search ofmelodies and sounds via rhythmicecstasy to an initially third-heavyepilogue whose supposed calmquickly turns out to be deceptive.The work was first recorded onthe CD of the same name by therenowned label ECM.score and partsGrade: very difficultISMN 979-0-001-14487-2ED 20054£ 29.99 / € 35,00availableSCHOTTEdition SchottCapuzzi, AntonioString QuintetG majorfor 2 violins, 2 violas and cello,Op. 3/6Edited by Tilmann SieberThe string quartets by the Italiancomposer Antonio Capuzzi probablyare the only ones which wereall created in Italy.
