Programme:
Karen Tanaka - At the Grave of Beethoven
Beethoven - String Quartet No. 12 in E-flat, Op. 127
Beethoven’s late quartets belong to a two year period of intense creativity (1824-6) following the completion of the Ninth Symphony. Stone deaf, seriously ill, the composer created visionary masterworks that would only be fully appreciated a century later.

They begin with Op. 127 which shares its key and declamatory power with the Eroica, dissolving into a wistful, flowing lyricism. Six variations meditate on an Adagio melody of quiet rapture, while the quartet is completed with a darting scherzo and gypsy-inflected Allegro.
