Three Quartets Dedicated to the King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm II 1790
Quartet K 575 D major
Quartet K 589 B flat major
Quartet K 590 F major
David Matthews - Marsyas
David Gorton-2 Caprices (World Premiere)
Guest Artist-Chris Redgate-Oboe
In 1790, Mozart wrote three quartets for the King of Prussia. This was inspired by the fact that Luigi Boccherini had a lucrative position at the Prussian court, held in absentia. The King was a keen amateur cellist, and the greatest cellists of the day, the Duport brothers, performed at the court, so Mozart wrote concertante quartets. Typically, the late 18th century quartet focused on the first violin, and are often violin concertos or sonatas in all but name. the concertante quartet typically shows off more of the players, although not necessarily all of them. Mozart's 'Prussian' quartets give all of the players brilliant roles, with an especial focus on the cello part, to humour the King and his visiting virtuosi.
The Kreutzers played this group of Mozart quartets at Wilton's with great success in 2007, and are delighted to bring these extraordinary works back to the ideal hall for them.
This concert also marks the release of the first volume of David Matthews quartets, recorded by the Kreutzer Quartet for the Toccata Label.
There is a pre-concert talk at 5:30
The show starts at 6:00

Richard Beaudoin - Quartet (World Premier)
The Kreutzers begin an exploration of the work of Schumann and his circle. In April 1855, the great violinist composer, Joseph Joachim wrote to Clara Schumann: “I have begun to practice hard so that we can play the Paganini Studies, which I am dying to hear, in the summer.” These of course, were Robert Schumann’s arrangements of Paganini’s Op 1, the Capricci. Joachim, who later would premiere the Brahms concerto, owned the 1698 Stradivarius violin now played by Peter Sheppard Skærved. Schumann heard Paganini in Frankfurt on the 11th of April, 1830: - ‘I expected him to begin with a tone as had never been heard before, but with how small, how thin a tone did he begin! Bit by bit, imperceptibly at first, he threw his magnetic charms into the audience, and the auditorium swayed with them. Then the links gradually became stronger and more intricate; people pressed closer together. He drew them tighter until the auditorium was gradually fused into a single entity, meant to be the wizard’s equal, the receiving as opposed to the giving part. Other wizards use other formulas.’ Fredryk Chopin first heard the Genoan virtuoso in Warsaw in 1829-he was profoundly impressed and made a radiant version of Paganini’s Carnival of Venice, his Souvenir de Paganini.
The American composer Richard Beaudoin based his new Quartet for the Kreutzers on a painstaking examination of one Chopin Prelude, a modern take on Schumann and Chopin’s own acts of homage to Paganini.
