Very many thanks for going to all you trouble to do this - it is a really wonderful aid to study of this beautiful piece, which I am going to play shortly with an amateur group. Greatly appreciated! Best wishes, Philip Thonemann
The coda of last movement seemed to be too fast at the first glance, but after couple of listenings I love it more and more :D It is SOOOO enjoyable. I even whistle it to myself.
Is this the only string quartet in history that begins in Ab minor? I can’t even think of another one that begins in Ab major ( there is a mass by Schubert).
There's definitely not many! I found a handful in Ab major (notably Shostakovich Op.118) but the only other one in Ab minor I know of is a fairly obscure quartet by Mieczysław Weinberg (which I only just discovered through a google search...) Would be curious to learn of any others that exist!
I think this is my favorite Dvorak quartet. That seventh jump downward at 1:21 is so heartwrenchingly beautiful
Merci.
The more I hear of Antonín Dvořák, the more I want to hear.
First movement's key signature is giving me anxiety. D:
Luckily it's only for like 20-30 bars
Same key signature as for the 3rd movement in the opus 97 string quintet.
@@davidyoung6331 ab minor, yeah
What an astonishing piece! You never know what key he's going to next. And what a wonderful performance of a challenging masterpiece.
This is the first time I’ve heard this amazing piece of music. Thanks for sharing it.
this is kinda fire tbh, dvorak really popped off on this one NGL (tbh fr)

Well then....BRAVO to you....from Mexico City!
In string quartet genre Dvorak is the true successor of Beethoven
so exuberant and fresh! wonderful piece!

That scherzo (furiant?) 2nd movement is an incredible tour-de-force.
nobody:
me when seeing the key signature: BYEE
Learn ya stuff.
The opening is pretty off-putting, but after that things settle down; it is well worth the trouble, I assure you.
@@philipthonemann2524 C'mon! It's only the relative major of A-flat minor. In other words it's the same key-signature as C-flat major.
The finale sounds like the finale of Brahms Violin Concerto.
You can hear the Mendelssohn in the second movement
