Wien
Expressieve strijkkwartetten
Consone Quartet – the first historicalinstrument string quartet to be chosen as BBC New Generation Artists – trans form Bruges into the Vienna of Mozart, Schoenberg and Webern. The names Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern probably bring to mind atonal music, but what few people realise is that these two composers also wrote a number of tonal works. Webern’s expressive Langsamer Satz from 1905 is a fine example. It is often described as a postt-Brahmsian masterpiece.
With music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), Anton Webern (18831945) & Arnold Schönberg (1874-1951)
