The Magic of Classical Quartet: Mozart, Haydn, Jadin
About the Event
It was Haydn who gave the string quartet its nobility. From divertimenti to quartets, which had entered the private salons in his times, from the second half of the eighteenth century on the string quartet become one of the most scholarly genre.
Mozart's Adagio and Fugue occupies a special place in the repertoire of the musician who discovered Bach's manuscripts. 'At last I'm learning something! He would have exclaimed. Between the end of the monarchy and the beginning of the First Empire, the composer Hyacinthe Jadin, who died at the age of twenty‐four, made a magnificent work, alas unknown. Still heavily influenced by Haydn, the first of his string quartets takes us to the borders of French préromantisme.
