Pavel Haas: String Quartet 2, "From the Monkey Mountains" (Pavel Haas String Quartet
(Wikipedia)
Pavel Haas (21 June 1899 - 17 October 1944) was a Czech composer who was murdered during the Holocaust. He was an exponent of Leoš Janáček's school of composition, and also utilized elements of folk music and jazz. Although his output was not large, he is notable particularly for his song cycles and string quartets.
Haas was born in Brno, into a Moravian-Jewish family. His father, Zikmund, a shoemaker by trade, was from the Moravian region, while his mother, Olga (née Epstein), was born in Odessa. After studying piano privately, Haas began his more formal musical education at the age of 14 and studied composition at the Brno Conservatory from 1919 to 1921 under Jan Kunc and Vilém Petrželka. This was followed by two years of study in the master class of the noted Czech composer Leoš Janáček. Janáček was far and away Haas's most influential teacher, and Haas, in turn, proved to be Janáček's best student. In 1935 he married Soňa Jakobson, the former wife of Russian linguist Roman Jakobson.
Of the more than 50 works Haas wrote during the rest of his life, only 18 were given opus numbers by the self-critical composer. While still working in his father's business, he wrote musical works of all kinds, including symphonic and choral works, lieder, chamber music, and scores for cinema and theatre. His opera, Šarlatán (The Charlatan), was first performed in Brno to sincere acclaim in April 1938. He received the Smetana Foundation award for the opera (sharing the award with Vítězslava Kaprálová who received it for her Military Sinfonietta).
(Note: there are cuts in the fourth movement, due to the fact that this quartet does not play the entire score; there is also a drop in quality at these cuts, for which I apologize. I am also aware that a small section of the score is missing.)

    The quartet [founded in 2002] is named after the Czech composer Pavel Haas (1899-1944), who was deported from Czechoslovakia in 1941, initially imprisoned at the work camp Terezin, and finally murdered at Auschwitz. Although aware of the significance of the circumstances of Haas's final years, the group did not intend to make a statement about The Holocaust, but rather selected the name primarily because of his importance to Czech music and in particular because of his three string quartets, all of which they have now recorded. [Veronika] Jarůšková [first violinist] has said: "We know personally the daughter of Pavel Haas. She doesn't like to speak about the time before the war. She showed us some papers and a book he wrote about her when she was born." Jarůšek added: "She also showed us the reviews. Every review of his Second Quartet was bad."[5] [Wikipedia]

    I've been in love with this piece from the moment I heard it first, about 15 years ago. The second movement is still hard to bear in its depressiveness. - Could perhaps anyone help with some basic background information? I still don't know what or where the "Monkey Mountains" are ... ?

    • @palladin331
      @palladin331 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The title of the quartet is somewhat provocative: in Czech, the "Monkey Mountains" used to be the nickname of the Vysočina Region (Moravian Highlands), an area once popular with tourists. The work was premièred in Brno on 16 March 1926, by the Moravian Quartet. The first performance was not well received, however: in the last movement, Haas added a percussionist, in combination with other unusual musical elements, and this daring experiment was not appreciated by the audience. Haas subsequently removed the percussion, though several modern performances and recordings have reinstated it.[1] [Wikipedia]
