Title

  • Teen Eighngst: Early String Octet Powerhouses by Mendelssohn and Enescu

Summary

  • The Library’s David Plylar speaks about two remarkable works created by young composers. Felix Mendelssohn and George Enescu both composed their string octets while still in their teens, and each piece offers a fresh take on cyclical/self-referential musical structures, in addition to being landmark works in the history of the string octet. The lecture preceded a performance in the Coolidge Auditorium of both octets by the Belcea Quartet and Quatuor Ébène.
