Haydn and Shostakovich: A Striking Contrast 2025-2026
Haydn played a key role in the evolution of the string quartet, and his final Quartet Op. 77 No. 2 is full of subtle experimentation that is both inventive and elegant. Meanwhile, Shostakovich reinterprets classical forms in his Quintet, infusing it with his deeply personal language and profound emotional intensity.
