BRENDANNOTES WOITHEPROGRAM

Prelude (2019) Prelude is a short sound work commissioned by the Australian String Quartet as an auditory transition to Kate Moore’s new piece, Cicadidae.

Brendan has drawn on both personal field recordings and samples of Soundscape Artist/Composer instructed improvisations from members Brendan Woithe is a Sydney based of the ASQ, changing their form into an composer and soundscape artist working abstract soundscape using technological in film, dance, theatre, installations and 9 interventions and algorithmic experiential.

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770–1827) Instead of a typical slow movement, String Quartet in C minor, op 18 no 4 Beethoven follows this with a curiously (1798-1800) light-hearted Andante (marked 1. Allegro ma non tanto ‘scherzoso’). Like the first movement, it is 2. Andante scherzoso quasi allegretto filled with fidgety rhythmic figures – long, 3. Menuetto: Allegretto interweaving threads of staccato notes 4. Allegro – Prestissimo pulling us restlessly onwards. And there’s something slightly absurd about all those Beethoven had initially been reluctant fugues and canons, as though Beethoven to write a string quartet when first is showing off his contrapuntal skills so requested in 1795, perhaps not yet earnestly that you begin to suspect some feeling up to the task of tackling a genre dry humour. so thoroughly mastered by Haydn and Mozart. But in 1798 a generous With the second movement having taken commission from the enthusiastic Prince the role of light relief, Beethoven ramps Lobkowitz (two years his junior) persuaded up the tempo and intensity of the third movement Minuet. We’re back in moody him to begin work on a set of six quartets. 13 This is the only one of them in a minor key C minor, and this time the forward-looking – and it is in C minor, Beethoven’s favourite impatience is expressed by sinuous key for drama and pathos. ascending lines and lithe chromaticism (the harmonic equivalent of squeezing After moving to Vienna in his early round some tight corners). The central twenties, Beethoven had developed a section is full of gracious melodic dialogue; reputation for impetuosity in his music as and then, unusually, Beethoven marks the well as his manner. His scores are often return of the Minuet theme to be played filled with sforzandos (hard accents) and faster than before. sudden dynamic contrasts. His short temper and impudence made him seem The music breaks into a run in the finale, like a man on a mission, unsatisfied with yet each varied return of the rondo theme the present, and always reaching forward. keeps pulling up and hesitating (teasingly) at the same cadence. In all the excitement, The beginning of this quartet yanks the grim, severe mood we might have us into an adventure, the first violin expected from a Beethoven work in C climbing into a long, dramatic opening minor gets forgotten, and the composer melody while the accompaniment chugs finishes the quartet with a smile. away like a motor. At times the players seem to be fencing each other with David John Lang © 2019 loud, jabbing chords. Even in its gentler passages, this movement is powerfully forward-driven, maintaining a kind of excited impatience to get to its destination. JOHANNESNOTES BRAHMSPROGRAM

JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833–1897) The main themes of each movement – String Quartet in C minor, op 51 no 1 indeed, every bar of the piece – can be (1873) traced back to what we hear within the first 30 seconds: the rising melody of the 1. Allegro , interrupted by downward leaps, 2. Romanze: Poco adagio and impelled by the restless energy of the 3. Allegretto molto moderato e comodo viola and cello. 4. Allegro The two outer movements are For Brahms, no musical experience could characterised by bold gestures and be an isolated event; everything was an irresistible momentum. At times the connected to something else.
