Karl Holz once wrote in Beethoven's conversation book that "When I think of the music of Beethoven, I am happy to be alive." I too share the same introspection.
This quartet is obviously copied on the quartet in the same tonality of Moart, but Beethoven started composing quartets, he had not the same mastery.This is particularly obvious in the thirrd movement with variations in the two quartets.
@@olivierdrouin2701 So I think that, if in average Beethoven superseded by far Mozart (in fact, everybody including in XXth century: Bartok, Berg, Carter...) in the domain os string quartetet, it happened something a bit specific. K. 464 is by far rhe best Mozart's quartet, ainly because he injected a lot of masonic symbols in it (eg:A major : three #). This perfection stoke Beethoven a lot. But op. 8 were his first quarttets, and he could not so fra challenge the mature Mozart. But note that in the last Beethoven 's quartets, the big quartete 14 in C# op. 131bears obvo ious allusions to Mozart's K. 464. But these are not imiatations: they are allusions, parrallals, anr d perhaps, who knows, secret tributes. You probably know that the quetion to know whether beethoven was a Mason or not has been often risen and never solved convincingly. But we know Beethoven(s ideasls: they are quite close to masonic ideals athte end of X Century 18, ant d the fact that the finale of his Ninth symphony is based upon a texte by Schiller is by no ways a point to be neglected. Some details put aside, The "Hymn to Joy" could be a Masonic derived text.
I am not a musician and i can t express an opinion on thé k 464 allusions. In thé OP 131. Your trust in thé possibility to relate music and ideology IS astounding to me. I m french,maybe you too?(your name...) Connaissez vous la fascinante et ultra technique étude de Josef Kerman sur les quatuors de Beethoven?Je ne me souviens pas qu il parle maçonnerie,mais de sentiments ésotériques,initiés,pour le k 464 et,d une façon particulierement sibylline pour un non musicien,l l'op 132 en lequel il voit une oeuvre miroir(??!)
Amazing performance (expect nothing less of Julliard) but there's one thing that bugging me and it's that the cello is at least an inch too high. A good "rule of thumb" I've heard a lot is that the C peg needs to be at the same level as your ear. Just a suggestion :)
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PIECES OF MUSIC FROM ANY GENRE, & THIS IS A GREAT PERFORMANCE.

I would be happy regardless, but i get what you are saying
That has always been my same conviction
The third movement is what makes this quartet great!
A bright sunshiny quartet played with warmth. A sense of good feelings. I like what it does for my spirits. Thank you for the video.
Gorgeous - thank you!
Very nicely done! Playing this piece tomorrow.
WQXR, in your description you neglect to mention the wonderful cellist.
00:07 Allegro
06:51 Minuetto
11:24 Andante cantabile con variazioni
21:24 Allegro
3rd Movement starts by sis. princess 11:24
Enjoyed.
Very earnest and youthful performance of this well-composed masterpiece, which reminds me of former Tokyo Quartet.
I was at the julliard school but the canteen fired me.
All players great, a worty outing. Memorable.
wonderful! one day i would love to go to julliard :)
Sehr ernsthafte und jugendliche Aufführung dieses gut komponierten Meisterwerkes, die mich ans ehemalige Tokio Streichquartett erinnert.
Violist was very good!
Danny Kim - my stand partner for three years in the Madison Symphony. We knew he'd go far. He's in the Boston Symphony now :-)
Is the cellist chopped liver? Why leave out his name?
maravilhoso
I wonder what the cellist's name is.
His name is Jay Campbell. He's currently the cellist of the JACK Quartet
Juilliard..........

I think the cellist is Jay Campbell.
Mike Oldfield is playing the first violin on this quartet? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
