Beethoven+ Concert 2

BEETHOVEN String Quartet No. 3 in D major, Op. 18, No. 3
PETER RUZICKA (b. 1948) String Quartet No. 1: Introspezione. Dokumentation (1970)
BEETHOVEN String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Op. 135

Framed by Beethoven’s earliest completed string quartet and the last major work of his compositional career, this program presents a unique opportunity to witness the development of Beethoven’s musical language. Peter Ruzicka’s Introspezione, a “documentation of mental states during a controlled psychedelic experience” (to quote the score’s preface), offers a hallucinogenic trip through time and space with memories of string quartets by Pfitzner, Webern, as well as Beethoven’s Op. 135 floating through the soundscape.
