Description

Explore the transformative evolution of the string quartet during the second half of the eighteenth century with this scholarly examination by Mara Parker. Challenging the conventional narrative of smooth progression from first violin-dominated homophony to equal four-part conversation, Parker presents a fresh analysis of the genre's actual development through detailed study of works by Pleyel, Distler, Filtz, Haydn and Mozart. This Routledge publication reveals how the relationships between the four voices developed in ways more complex and non-linear than music historians previously believed. By reconsidering a wide variety of string quartets from this pivotal period, the book offers musicians, students and classical music enthusiasts new perspectives on how composers approached instrumental conversation and voice interaction. Perfect for anyone studying chamber music history, composition techniques or the classical period's musical innovations.
