Composer: Franz Schubert Artists: Diogenes Quartet S chubert’s early string quartets raise a number of questions, as well as suggesting an intriguing level of experimentation on the young composer’s part. Firstly, there is the question of lost material. The lack of precise information on the compositional and biographical context of the Five Minuets and Five German Dances (marked ‘Vol.2’ by Schubert), and of the two Quartet Movements D68, gives us room to speculate that they may originally have been accompanied by a previous volume and additional movements respectively, now lost in the mists of musical history. The precise thinking behind the multiple versions of some of the Minuets and Dances is also unexplained, which is why the listener is treated on this album to two sharply contrasting ‘bonus’ versions, and has the opportunity to decide for themselves which fit more comfortably into the set. Early experimentation is the key theme of the Quartet D18, written when the composer was just 13 years old. Besides being of biographical interest, as we see Schubert grappling with fundamental compositional concepts for the first time, this experimentation also yields unexpected and interesting musical results. The Quartet Movements D68, meanwhile, are fascinating in their resourceful expansion of fairly minimal melodies and motifs.Tracklist: 00:00:00 Franz Schubert: String Quartet in G Minor, D. 18: I.
