Mendelssohn String Quartets Op.12 and 13
Ernst Herttrich (Editor)
String Quartet E flat major Op.12
String Quartet a minor Op.13
Appendix: Song "Frage" Op.9,1
The string quartet is generally considered as the chamber-music genre of the classical era: invented by Haydn, elaborated by Haydn and Mozart, and brought to its compositional peak by Beethoven. All later quartet composers had to measure themselves against the works of these three masters. This applies first and foremost to Mendelssohn, who has always been called a “classical romantic.” His Quartet in a minor op. 13 in particular is said to have strong Beethovenian stylistic traits. It was composed in late summer and fall 1827, shortly after Beethoven’s late quartets appeared in print, works that Mendelssohn was no doubt familiar with. The Quartet in E flat major op. 12 was written two years later, during Mendelssohn’s first tour of England. A textually identical score of the two quartets is published in Henle’s Study Scores series (HN 9270).
