Summary:
Using the history of the composition of Beethoven's
string
quartets as the backbone to his story, Edward Dusinberre - leader of the Takacs
Quartet
- recounts the life of the
Quartet
from its inception in Hungary, through emigration to the US and its present-day life of world renown. He also describes what it was like for him, as a young man fresh out of Julliard, to join the
quartet
as its (non-Hungarian) leader - a challenging task. Inside the life of a
quartet
, vividly showing how four people make music together over a long period of time without becoming stale, or falling out. The key, the author argues, is in continual change and experiment - and these are at the heart of Beethoven's remarkable compositions for
quartet
.
