Overview
Dvořák’s Terzetto for two violins and viola, writtenwithin a week’s span in 1887, provides a novelopening for a string quartet concert. The work’sfolk-like tunes ideally complement the melodiousclassicism of Prokofiev’s First String Quartet,commissioned by the Washington Library of Congressin 1930.
The Jerusalem Quartet concludes withDvořák’s sonorous Op. 106, a work of dazzlinginventive genius.
