String Quartet in g, Op.2-3, Ben.309

21 min.

composed by Pleyel

Six string quartes Op.2, published in 1784, was dedicated to Haydn. Among them, No. 3 in G minor is particularly beautiful and emotional work. It is not so popular, however, there is a brilliant performance by Enso Quartet (http://www.ensoquartet.com/ ). It’s notable that the 1st violin part has no very high tone. Third positon is enough for playing.
It consists of the following three movements.
I. Adagio
II. Allegro assai
III. GraziosoI. Presto

I. Adagio

 

II. Allegro assai

 

III. GraziosoI. Presto
