Classical Series - The Fernwood Quartet plays Schubert!
Love, loss, and transcendence — the Fernwood String Quartet's program "Death and the Maiden" takes us through a journey from youthful longing, through existential confrontation, to spiritual reckoning and catharsis. At the beginning stands Anton Webern’s lush, late-Romantic Langsamer Satz—a surprisingly warm, idealistic and intimate work from a composer more often associated with atonality and pointillism. Here, he shows vulnerability and youthful longing in a tonal, passionate idiom.
It is followed by Leoš Janáček’s 1st string quartet, "Kreutzer Sonata", a fierce, unsettling exploration of love gone awry, inspired by Tolstoy’s novella about jealousy, betrayal, and violence. It tears apart the idealism of the Webern. Janáček's raw, declamatory lines and speech-like rhythms embody emotional volatility.
Franz Schubert's masterpiece, his String Quartet in D minor, “Death and the Maiden”, brings the program to its existential climax. The famous second movement variations on his song “Death and the Maiden” ask: how do we confront the end? Within all the drama and tension this music carries, it also brings moments of sublime beauty and spiritual elevation.
In no other composer’s work, with the possible exception of Shostakovich, do we find such stark and shattering juxtaposition of the human and the inhuman, of tenderness and anger, desperation and solace.
