From Haydn to Schumann

This season, the Hagen Quartet is once again devoting itself to juxtaposing Joseph Haydn's string quartets with significant contributions to the genre by later generations. In his quartets Hob. III/57-62, composed around 1788, Haydn further developed the string quartet genre, of which he is regarded as the founder, with a step towards symphonic elaboration - with larger dimensions, distinctive themes and balanced tempi. In this concert, two of these quartets, the one in G major Hob. III/58 and the rarely performed one in E major Hob. III/59, meet Robert Schumann's Quartet in A major op. 41/3. Before composing his three string quartets op. 41 in 1842, Schumann studied Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn intensively. The references to the classical models are clearly audible in his quartets. Schumann himself was highly satisfied with them. »I still regard them as my best work of the earlier period«, he enthused in 1847.
