Original

'Quartet In C Minor' is in four movements with a total duration of about 25 minutes. The opening Allegro is similar in style to Dvorak in its lyricism, though there is a darker, more brooding atmosphere towards the close. It is tempting to detect a hint of folk-song in the theme of the Andantino, played by the viola, but that may be stretching hindsight too far. The movement has a wistful melancholy that carries over into the following Intermezzo, a song-like episode containing some of the most virtuosic writing in the work. The last movement is a theme and six variations with a fugal ending. The theme is ballad-like with a suggestion of 18th-century elegance. Modality creeps into the second Adagio variation and there is rhythmic exhilaration in the succeeding Presto. What can be admired in this attractive quartet is its conciseness. This String Quartet was his first major composition of any kind.

Traducció

'Quartet In C Minor' is in four movements with a total duration of about 25 minutes. The opening Allegro is similar in style to Dvorak in its lyricism, though there is a darker, more brooding atmosphere towards the close. És temptador per detectar un indici de la cançó popular en el tema de la Andantino, interpretada per la viola, però això es pot estirar massa retrospectiva. El moviment té una malenconia nostàlgica que es trasllada a la següent Intermezzo, un episodi cançó com que conté alguns dels escrits més virtuós en el treball. L'últim moviment és un tema i sis variacions amb final fugal. El tema és balada com un suggeriment de l'elegància del segle 18. Modalitat arrossega en la segona variació Adagio i hi ha alegria rítmica al Presto èxit. El que es pot admirar en aquest atractiu quartet és la seva concisió. Aquest quartet de corda va ser la seva primera gran composició de qualsevol tipus.
