Quartets Old and New
Delight  in Mozart’s brilliant Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major, written shortly after he completed Le Nozze de Figaro. Discover Jörg Widmann’s String Quartet No. 8 “Study on Beethoven III,”  the third in a series of five “Studies on Beethoven” begun in 2019. Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 13 in B-flat Major follows the intermission and includes the original final movement, the Grosse Fuge.
