{"product_id":"emilie-mayer-string-quartets-vol-1-0761203560028","title":"String Quartets Vol.1","description":"In our successful Emilie Mayer edition, we now begin on Vol. 1 with three of her string quartets. While still a student of Carl Loewe, the composer turned to the most aesthetically demanding and respected genre of chamber music, the string quartet. In 1848, a critic of the Berliner Vossische Zeitung praised the \"lovely cantilenas,\" the \"deft arrangement,\" and \"especially the noble and dignified style\" of her string quartets. The quartets in G major, A major, and E minor were written by 1858 and were always favorably rewed by the critics. However, borrowing from classical patterns, the strict motivic-thematic interpenetration of formal sections are only some aspects of Mayer's quartet style. Another, and in this she goes far beyond classical patterns, is the strict motivic-thematic interpenetration of formal sections. Her Quartet in E minor seems never to have been performed, yet even the first movement is a masterpiece of concise drama, motivic-thematic economy, and avant-garde experimentation.","brand":"Classic Production Osnabrück","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53584521724246,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_0761203560028_1.jpg?v=1778465131","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/emilie-mayer-string-quartets-vol-1-0761203560028","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
