Original tekst

Quartet in C Minor is in four movements with a total duration of about 25 minutes. The opening Allegro is Dvorák-ish in its lyricism, though there is a darker, more brooding atmosphere towards the close. It is tempting to detect a hint of folk-song in the theme of the Andantino, played by the Viola, but that may be stretching hindsight too far. The movement has a wistful melancholy that carries over into the following Intermezzo, a song-like episode containing some of the most virtuosic writing in the work. The last movement is a theme and six variations with a fugal ending. The theme is ballad-like with a suggestion of 18th-century elegance. Modality creeps into the second Adagio variation and there is rhythmic exhilaration in the succeeding Presto. What can be admired in this attractive quartet is its conciseness. This String Quartet was his first major composition of any kind.

Quartet in C Minor is in four movements with a total duration of about 25 minutes. The opening Allegro is Dvorák-ish in its lyricism, though there is a darker, more brooding atmosphere towards the close. It is tempting to detect a hint of folk-song in the theme of the Andantino, played by the Viola, but that may be stretching hindsight too far. Bevægelsen har en længselsfuld melankoli, der bærer over i den følgende Intermezzo, en sang-lignende episode med nogle af de mest virtuose skrift i arbejdet. Den sidste bevægelse er et tema og seks varianter med en fugal slutning. Temaet er ballade-lignende med en antydning af det 18. århundrede elegance. Modalitet kryber ind i den anden Adagio variation og der er rytmisk opstemthed i den efterfølgende Presto. Hvad kan beundres i denne attraktive kvartet er dens kortfattethed. Denne String Quartet var hans første store komposition af nogen art.
