It gathers the three leading composers of this transitional period: the Master Haydn and his two illustrious pupils, Mozart and Beethoven. It allows us to (re)discover the quintessence of the classical style and the beginning of romanticism that appears with Beethoven. We find here a Haydn full of wit - sharp, gentle, meditative and then explosive. A cheerful, elegant and mischievous Mozart who also knows how to be deeper and contemplative. Lastly, Beethoven, already fully dramatic, playing with contrasts and surprise in great rhythmic rigor. @@ -91,7 +91,7 @@ DESCRIPTION : This concert brings together two virtuoso quartets that have marked the history of music. Today they are considered masterpieces of the repertoire. -Beethoven played a major role in the development of the string quartet. Through his sixteen quartets composed over nearly thirty years, he pushed the boundaries of the genre, sharing his deepest feelings. During its creation, the 7th quartet encountered the incomprehension of both the public and the performers. To the violinist Radicati, who told him it wasn't music, Beethoven replied: “It's not for you! It's for times yet to come.” +Beethoven played a major role in the development of the string quartet.

To the violinist Radicati, who told him it wasn't music, Beethoven replied: “It's not for you! It's for times yet to come.” Advancing from a different perspective, Bartok sought to innovate in form while anchoring his work in the popular tradition of his country. He undertook an innovative approach which led him to collect folklore themes from local populations. His cycle of six string quartets, also composed over the space of thirty years, is the completion of the quest for this new musical language, inspired by popular music with the richness of construction specific to Western written music.
