Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827)Program NotesBeethoven's String Quartet in F Major isimpressive in terms of size and expressiverange. The opening of the first movementbristles with the suppressed energy andexplosive contrasts we expect from earlyBeethoven, while the music's continuityarisesfrom the perpetual transformation ofideas, in particular the opening motif withits characteristic turn. The slow movement,in D minor, is a tragic operatic scene on thegrandest scale inspired as (Beethoven toldAmenda) by the tomb scene from Romeoand Juliet. The return of the main melodyis given heightened drama by suddenchanges of dynamic, and in the coda bythe coloratura embellishments of thefirst violin. The Scherzo is a sturdy dancetwitching with humorous effects. The Trioopens by hammering out a rhythm whosefour-bar phrase length underpins theswirling scales that follow on the first violin,with a sudden swerve to D nat leading themusic into minor tonalities. The fmaie isBeethoven at his most effervescent, witha skittish opening tune that contrasts withthe spiky second theme. First heard againstlegato undulations on the cello, this secondtheme is shared in imitation between theviolins, and in the development becomesa contrapuntal passagein fugato style; thisalternates with a gentler episode whichlater combines with the first theme tobegin the fmal build-up. -Peter HillThe keyof G major was one that Beethovenchose for some of his wittiest works, andthe Quartet Op.18 No.2 is no exception.Even the inclusion of the scherzo-likeepisode in its second movement did notprevent him from following the piecewith an actual scherzo, rather than a morerelaxed minuet; or from casting the fma.ein the character of a high-spirited 'Allegromolto.' The nnale's humour is embodiedin its strikingly unconventional beginning,where the phrases of the main themealternate between the solo cello and thefull quartet. At the end of the movement'sfirst stage Beethoven subverts theexpected repeat with a startling switch ofkey, and the sudden change in harmonicdirection casts its shadow over the entirefirst half of the central developmentsection. When the principal subject makesa return, it does so in a bright C Major,before Beethoven-as though anxiousto announce that he is in the 'wrong'key-makes exaggeratedly emphaticpreparations for the actual recapitulation.At the crucial moment, however, the musictakes a side-step into another distant key,before the genuine recapitulation is at lastallowed to set in. -Misha DonatArtist BiographiesEr-Gene Kahng has held title positions withthe Baton RougeSymphony Orchestra, theCivicOrchestraof Chicago,aswell assectionpositions with the Lancaster Symphony,New Haven Symphony Orchestra, andEastern Connecticut Symphony.
