Quatuor Arod - Superromantische morgen

Super romantic morning

For their romantic morning, the Arod Quartet chose Tchaikovsky's First String Quartet , a piece created for unromantic reasons: the composer was short on money and picked up his pen. He needed only a few weeks for the four movements. The Andante is perhaps the most famous. None other than the writer Leo Tolstoy once sat next to Tchaikovsky during a performance of the quartet. Tears streamed down his cheeks during this movement. To conclude, the Arods will play the slow movement from Dvořák's Twelfth String Quartet .
