Mozart Eine kleine Nachtmusik - Serenade in Gmajor, K-525, 2nd Movement II Romance Andante
The Gewandhaus Quartet plays the 2nd movement - Romance Andante - of Mozart's Serenade in G Major: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music).
K. 525
The Gewandhaus Quartet claims to be the oldest continuously active string quartet in history, and it has reason on its side, in that the principal strings of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra have been performing as the Gewandhaus Quartet for nearly two hundred years. The present foursome, though - Frank-Michel Erben and Conrad Suske, violins; Volker Metz, viola; and Jurnjakob Timm, cello - have been together merely for a decade. They played Sunday afternoon at San Francisco State University's McKenna Theater for an audience that I suspect was more interested in the repertoire than in the group's history.
As a quartet, the Gewandhaus have an unusual sound and a more unusual balance. The sound is very solid and concentrated, to the point where I started to feel the sameness - not of color exactly, but of density - as a little oppressive. These are players who don't "float" notes; they may play very quietly, but there is always some grain in the sound. And then the balance: I have never heard a quartet less interested in subordinating accompanimental parts to leading ones. It wasn't just a matter of the inner strings playing out; it was a sort of free-for-all, or so you might have called it had you not seen with what discipline the four played, hardly glancing at one another and not moving demonstratively except in a very few places.
Add that the players took unusual and exaggerative notice of articulation marks and accents, and that they bent tempo only when the score absolutely required it, and even I began to think, "Well, what else did you expect a quartet of principal strings from a top orchestra to play like?"

Used to have a speaker as a baby with that song. Very nostalgic and a beautiful piece
For some reason, whenever I hear this piece, I think of an owl from an ancient Roman mosaic perched in a tree, and said owl may or may not be looking for a mouse carrying a giant present for the moon. If you know what I’m talking about, you know.
이 얼마나 아름다운 선율인가
My teacher told me to pick up all the pieces 👀 👄
-Where's Dallas? -In the shuttle.
this song makes me feel rich
muzika je prekrasna i nostalgična
This was My Childhood "time to sleep" Music😢

Chris Hazelwood says this is the saddest music ever written in the major key.
The essence of Lagrangia.
一首高中音樂課裡的歌曲「思鄉」 中文歌詞與原曲的旋律兩相配合得完美無瑕 == 「思鄉」歌詞 == 一輪明月高高掛在天上 悄悄地斜照著荒涼的草場 場上有個異鄉的遊子 獨自站在月下低頭默想 思想起他那可愛的故鄉 思想起他那年老的爹娘 不知他們是否安然無恙 是否也在月下低頭默想
Now I am now listening to it. 25.5.2023. 20h MEZ
I know this is going to make me sound like an overprivileged and spoiled posh but every time I listen to Luigi Boccherini’s “Minuetto”, Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons”, and this… they make me dream of having afternoon tea inside any European mansion or palace.
Lol
Hello, I download your posts, so thank you and forgive me for everything
Beautiful. One of my favourite pieces by Mozart
The acoustics are better in a chamber setting where it was meant to be played. (The echo reverbs)
Beautiful Thank you xxx
So pretty, such a delight to hear, you all play so well I'm inspired to learn to play this. Thank you.
Deliciously wonderful phrasing! I'm gonna practice so I can play like this.

Who is listening in 2022 during the bidendemic?
This movement makes me warm and nostalgic inside. When I listen to it I picture myself nestled away in some European garden during Spring with flowers in full bloom and birds tweeting as I feel the warm afternoon sun beating down on my skin.
Wow!! This is heavenly, really beautiful comment👌👌👍👍🍷🍷🍸🍸🥂🥂🍹🍹🌈🌈
BRAVO ET MERCI BEAUCOUP POUR CETTE EMOUVANTE INTERPRETATION
One of my favorites. I vividly remember my music appreciation teacher playing it and saying we were not expected to remember it. (I do not remember why. I think he pretty much thought it was basic and/or forgettable). When I heard it, I remember hearing it in movies. I pointed it out in a research paper (prior to google) what movies it had been in, just my my memory. Maybe he gained something from me letting him know that some people LOVE it.
I've played this dream when i was 12 or 13, at school with a simply flutwe in a simply way. What a dream, can i have a simply write please? Like written for a child. I would try to play again. To see that dream. Pardon my english.

BRAVO !
Oh, that was so satisfying. I love the full range of sound.
The best movement
I'm just working on my "Personal Life-Time Soundtrack", where I integrated this piece of music. And only just now, I read the description ... But, oops: I read "Gewandhaus Quartet"; I read four names of players; I read about two violins, a viola, and a cello. But what I see is a quintet; five players; two violins, a viola, a cello, and a double bass! What happened here?

I loved it u guys play so good but if I were you guys I would take a little bit more time playing thee instruments like in the song and what I mean by that is the speed of the music
A part of childhood...
So beautiful…
