First Program Notes
L. V. Beethoven: String Quartet, Opus 18 No. 1 in F Major.
Beethoven was inspired and began writing for string quartets in 1800, after seeing Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet performed in German in his native Bonn.
The second movement corresponds to his musical interpretation of the tragic tomb scene.
After working for two years, Beethoven decided to give his manuscript to a friend who intensively reviewed the work for a year until it was approved by Beethoven who immediately sent it to his publicist with the words: “Be sure to only use this version for which I have made numerous and drastic alterations. It is until now that I have really learned to write Quartets, which you will see as you start receiving them. “

Beethoven then composed 16 marvelous and monumental String Quartets, as part of his great compositions, which undoubtedly changed the course of Western music and culture.
Felix Mendelssohn: Capricho, Fuga and Scherzo. Posthumous Opus
Mendelssohn intended these two movements to be part of a Complete String Quartet.

They were discovered after his death at age 38, in 1847. Mendelssohn was so inspired and influenced by Beethoven’s Quartets that he frequently included parts of those in his own. These two wonderful pieces are two fabulous examples of this.
