I sommeren 1842 skriver Schumann tre strygekvartetter på kun seks uger – hans eneste forsøg i genren – dedikeret til kollegaen og mentoren Mendelssohn, som åbenbart synes vældig godt om dem. Da Schumann på et tidspunkt erklærer, at han ikke aner, hvordan han nogensinde skal gøre gengæld for Mendelssohns store hjælp i hans karriere, får han blot svaret: "Kvartetterne, Schumann. Kvartetterne!"

Her spiller den fremadstormende interskandinaviske Absalon String Quartet, som bl.a. i 2023 vandt P2 Kammermusikkonkurrencen, Schumanns tredje strygekvartet. Dertil spiller de musik af strygekvartettens stamfader, Joseph Haydn: et udvalg fra hans sidste sæt af kvartetter, hvor han mere end nogensinde før sprænger rammerne for den sædvanlige sonateform og giver sig ud på nye musikalske eventyr.

Absalon String Quartet: Haydn & Schumann

Once again, the Classical Summer Concerts are delighted to present a range of world-class musicians, performing amongst the Roman gods and heroes in the Glyptotek’s atmospheric Central Hall.

In the summer of 1842, Schumann wrote three string quartets in just six weeks – his only attempt in the genre – dedicated to his colleague and mentor Mendelssohn, who apparently thought very highly of them. When Schumann declared at one point that he had no idea how he would ever repay Mendelssohn for his great help in his career, he was simply told: "The quartets, Schumann. The quartets!"

Here, the up-and-coming inter-Scandinavian Absalon String Quartet, which won the P2 Chamber Music Competition in 2023, plays Schumann's third string quartet. In addition, they play music by the ancestor of the string quartet, Joseph Haydn: a selection from his last set of quartets, where he more than ever before breaks the framework of the usual sonata form and embarks on new musical adventures.
