Franz Schubert,?String?Quartet Movement in C Minor,?D. 103?(completed by Brian Newbould)
Josef Mayseder, String Quartet?No.5?in D major,?Op.9
Take a trip to early 19th-Century Vienna! Joseph Mayseder (1789-1863) was a virtuoso violinist and concertmaster at the Vienna State Opera. He was prolific in chamber music, writing 12 quartets. Here, the Danels present his fifth, published in 1817. This is preceded by a lesser-known fragment by his better-known contemporary, Franz Schubert, completed by Brian Newbould in 1996.
Followed at 2.30pm by a seminar with Schubert expert, Dr Anne Hyland (Senior Lecturer in Music Analysis, University of Manchester) in which she compares two different completions of Schubert's C-minor fragment and discusses their relationship to his more famous 'Quartettsatz' of 1820.
