The Amernet String Quartet has garnered recognition as one of today’s exceptional string quartets and are Ensemble-in-Residence at Florida International University in Miami. Their sound has been called “complex” but with an “old world flavor.” Strad Magazine described the Amernet as “…a group of exceptional technical ability.” The Amernet’s performance schedule has taken the quartet across the Americas and to Asia, Europe, and the Middle East and they have collaborated with many of today’s most prominent artists and ensembles including the Tokyo and Ying quartets as well as Shmuel Ashkenasi, Robert deMaine, Roberto Diaz, Alexander Fiterstein, Gary Hoffman, Anthony McGill, Sherrill Milnes, and Michael Tree. Internationally, the quartet has appeared at major festivals around the world, including Cervantino, San Miguel de Allende, Aviv (Israel), and Colima (Mexico), while the Nürnberger Nachrichten commented that their playing was “fascinating, with flawless intonation, extraordinary beauty of sound, virtuosic brilliance, and homogeneity of ensemble.” The Amernet’s U.S. engagements have included the Kennedy Center, the Tilles Center, Caramoor, the Great Lakes Festival, Newport, Friends of Chamber Music in Arizona and in Syracuse, LPR in New York City, Chamber Music Society of Louisville, Music on the Edge in Pittsburgh, the University of Maine - Collins Center, and Market Square Concerts. The Amernet has also appeared as quartet soloist with the Cincinnati Symphony and Alan Gilbert. Earlier in their career, the Amernet won the gold medal at the Tokyo International Music Competition before being named first prize winners of the Banff International String Quartet Competition. Prior to their current position, the Amernet held posts as Corbett String Quartet-in-Residence at Northern Kentucky University and at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Additionally, the ensemble served as the Ernst Stiefel Quartet-in-Residence at the Caramoor Center for the Arts. In its frequent touring, the Amernet has conducted workshops and master classes in Buffalo, Los Angeles, Memphis, and New Orleans as well as visiting residencies at colleges and universities including Columbia, Dickinson, Fresno State, Gettysburg, Penn State, Princeton, Western Illinois, and Williams and abroad in Colombia, Israel, Mexico, and Serbia. The Amernet String Quartet has received grants from the Corbett Foundation, the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, the LaSalle Foundation, the Fine Arts Fund, the Cincinnati Chamber Music Society, and the Amernet Society for school outreach projects, the commissioning of new works, and their concert and conversation series. The Amernet advocates for a broad repertoire, playing the classical literature; the music of Jewish composers; and of course the music of our time, and has worked closely with some of today’s leading composers, including John Corigliano, Orlando Garcia, John Harbison, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Fredrick Kaufman, Bernard Rands, Augusta Read Thomas, Morton Subotnick, Dmitri Tymoczko, and Chinary Ung.

0:17: 1st movement
9:40: 2nd movement
14:56: 3rd movement.
Ẹnjoy watching one of the best sonata of Beethoven!
fun fact from internet, Beethoven was going to give the 3rd movement's melody to Violin instead of piano
thật vui khi thấy 1 người việt cmt ở 1 video như thế này đó :)
Thanks. I was thinking of posting a similar comment for myself to jump to the second movement cause I'm practising it, you saved me the trouble. (though I now realize I still ended up writing something as a reply to you so I guess it doesn't matter, lol)
I know I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good place to stream new series online ?
@Curtis Landon thanks, signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it !!
This sounds as if it was written for a string quartet; amazing.
This is exactly what I thought! I was listening the other day to the arrangements of the Symphonies for three (Ax, Ma, Kavakos) which are great! But I didn’t have this same sensation, that this was the better arrangement. I doubt it would work for all the other Sonatas but boy oh boy, the Pathetique for string quartet is fantastic!
Make more Beethoven sonatas in String Quartet
Beethoven made his own Sonata No. 9 in string quartet :)
That is officially the best thing in the universe, ever!
DarwinsChihuahua I prefer sex
Fildza Finn dude
Fildza Finn really
Lol
Excuse me with all due respect, this effort to arrange a quartet version of all Beethoven sonatas must be completed! It is simply too important to not complete this effort. Please! For all that is good in this world, please please complete this cycle and make the complete collection available on streaming platforms! Oh what value it would be!
The amount of effort to arrange the most difficult sonatas would be stupid, hammerklavier, appasionata and waldstein would be incredibly Hard to play or even arrange.
@@Tortualex ua-cam.com/video/3_tjrsNzd5Y/v-deo.html hammerklavier, its possible
@@shah144 but most of It is at like half the speed of the original, Maybe It is for interpretativa or technicall purposes but It loses most of the virtuosism.
The cellist should be much louder for mvt 2, in order to hear the beautiful weaving and imitation that the bass and melody lines contain
Ingenious and inspiring. I'm happy to know that these fine artist-musicians are at Florida International University, my alma mater. Bravo gentlemen!
me too, they are my friends for many years at FIU, love them all.
This deserves at least 3 million Views
One of the first full pieces I learned on piano. Absolutely beautiful! It's amazing to hear a piece I love so dearly arranged for stings!
The second movement is my all time favorite 💜💙
November 8, 2022 I just discovered this version of the Pathetique. Even though it will not surpass the real thing, I love it.
these are my friends from Florida Int'l University artists in residence, Juilliard grads, playing this amazing transcription of a sonata I learned from memory when I was 12 years old, how perfect it is for string quartet as played by my friends,
I just wanted to open UA-cam but i opened the door to heaven. 🎶 Happy 250 years Ludwig van Beethoven!
Congrats to arranger J Briggs and great playing by the quartet. Beethoven’s piano works are perfect for orchestration. As a piano student I was often instructed to try and emulate orchestral effects when playing them. That 2nd movement is to cry for.
This video help me tremendously to study this piece on piano.
I normally hate transcriptions of piano pieces but that was fantastic...
Incredibly convincing and moving. Almost reminds me of Beethoven’s late string quartets.
Wow. The first movement sounds so natural in a quartet. I absolutely love this version!
This was absolutely fantastic! This is my favorite Beethoven piano sonata and I like this version better than when done with a piano.
A very classy arrangement, thank you. I am using it to provide "tonal respite" from the piano version when teaching this as a set work here in the UK, and to hear how Beethoven was itching to write symphonically, but kept a little in check by Haydn and Albrechtsberger!
Everyone in the world should listen to this
SIMPLY INCREDIBLE
I love that 2nd movement!
I have long imagined what this sonata might sound like as a string quartet. Now I know. Thank you ASQ !!!
Wonderful arrangement and performance
Loved the violists subtle smile throughout. Made me smile ☺️
9:37 what an amazing 🥹❤
I need this in Spotify please!! I absolutely love it. You are so talented
All I can say is WOW!!!!
As my favorite Sonata to listen to…. WOW and THANK YOU.
I keep coming back to this recording, it's just too good!
Ahhhhhh this is soooooo good! Thank you so much all the musicians and arrangers and of course mr Beethoven
Amazing arrangement!!! I hope to hear more of the Beethoven Sonata's and works... thank you for sharing this.
Superb.A novel interpretation..Even Beethoven will like it.
It is Amazing!!! I had reard by piano. With string instruments never. It is so beautiful. Congratulations from Brasil.
Possibly the best recording of this sonata I've ever heard!
What? and Yes!!! Wonderful. Thank you ASQ.
9:41 is what you are looking for
Awesome! Congrats and thanks!
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this piece. My all time favorite. Thank you for posting.
this is what i have been waiting for. i wish there was violin solo version. thank you for sharing this.
Violin solo version would be literally impossible if meant to sound good, violin with cello version would be very good, but...if you like Liszt, someone made a transcription of his sonata in b minor for solo violin
There's a version of the second movement for viola and piano
@@niccolopaganini4268 if you can do erlkonig, you can do beethoven
@@niccolopaganini4268 I've listened Bach's chromatic fantasia and fugue ov violin, but Liszt's b minor sonata, wow, that's an actual absurd musical idea
Sublime
Outstanding. I would very much like to hear No. 13 in E-Flat Major, Op. 27 on strings.
Brilliant. The 2nd movement echoes for me what Beethoven did in the 9th symphony, 3rd mov.
It is wonderfully imagined !
The arrangement, the interpretation, the performance; remarkable in every sense, utterly awe-inspiring!
this is perfection
Such beauty.
I looked for "Beethoven Sonate Pathetique String Quartet" not being sure anyone has ever arranged it and I'm so impressed by how good this sounds... I looked this up just to listen to 16:47 because I could only imagine this part as a string quartet whenever I played it... And you performed it in the exact way I hear it in my head.
So passionate and inspiring
This is uncannily Schubert-like! It absolutely could have been his.
This is so great！
Love the idea!
there is no words just great
perfect arrangement!
Just great !!!
Gracias, mil gracias por este arreglo. Desde que era un niño he soñado con adaptar las sonatas de Beethoven a cuartetos de cuerda, y ustedes lo han hecho realidad.
I can only say thank you and no more.
This is genius!! I love it, thank you!
Simply brilliant!!
I mention this because I do not see that anyone else has: there is a recording on the alpha label still listed at ArkivMusic of the first three piano sonatas transcribed for string quartet by the French composer Pierre-Auguste-Louis Blondeau. Very enjoyable.
J'aime beaucoup : quelle sensibilité !
Really magnificent!
So brilliant!
I like it.
7:13 - I like how they changed from staccato to legato when the key switched from minor to major. :)
The best, what i heard.
Impressive👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent! Bravo!
I love these guys!
Wonderful performance, thanks!
I Was hoping to find this piece in string form! Bravo
Great
I can hardly wait to hear what you're going to do with the late sonatas.
جميل جدا الروعة شكرا على مشاركة هذا الفيديو
Bravo
this is amazing! love it!
I love it. Thank you so much for the wonderful music.
excellent
late to the party but holy frick this is genius,
9:41 beautiful..
Do more!!!!
This is amazing, even it has a little too much vibrato, for my taste. But it is such great music and a beautiful arrangement. Love it!
bravo
Impressive
Maravilloso! Captan y transmiten de tal forma todos los matices de que podría decirse que esta obra fue escrita originariamente para cuarteto de cuerdas!!! Sinceramente? La mejor interpretación de Beethoven que he oído nunca (por encima de los sobrevalorados Karajan y Baremboim). Puede que Amernet Quartet Vaya a convertirse en mi cuarteto preferido? Tal vez.
SEGUID ASÍ!! +10
What a wonderful transcription. Bravo! Do you have other performances of his sonatas on UA-cam?
All the piano sonatas and the violin sontas should be arranged in string quartet.
a ma zing
viciante
I think the 2nd violinist is way better than the lead violinist, he actually plays in tune and doesn’t have inconsistent tone quality
Amazing Interpretation! I love this Violin, but the Viola do better. I love this Version.
Felipe Caritate rude
Charles Henderson how?
サイコー
would be lovely if there’s double bass part too
Fildza Fadzli No double bass in a string quartet
Charles Henderson well make it have
@@fildzafadzli8620 well there could be one for string quintet which does have double bass.
Make sonatas quartet again
Wow… and only after a couple of bars
2:12 my best
Boshi would be impressed
man i thin they are not playing that on the video
GREAT JOB! Amazing how well arrangments of Beethoven's piano pieces work. Just the adagio in the last bars of the 3rd movement are killing, a pity
How can it be possible?
