Quatuor à cordes / String Quartet op. 121 N 195 佛瑞 弦樂四重奏 騎熊士版

加布裡埃爾-福雷（Gabriel Fauré）唯一的絃樂四重奏創作於 1923-24 年，是作曲家的最後一部作品，是在其出版商雅克-杜蘭（Jacques Durand）的建議下創作的。在此之前，福雷一直推遲創作絃樂四重奏，顯然是因為貝多芬的陰影太深

原文簡介:
Gabriel Fauré’s only string quartet which was composed in 1923-24 is the composer’s final work and was written at the suggestion of his publisher Jacques Durand. Until then, Fauré had always put off writing a string quartet, evidently because of Beethoven’s imposing shadow.

When Fauré composed the quartet he was already extremely ill. He added dynamics and slurs only in some parts of the exposition of the first movement and then asked his former pupil Jean Roger- Ducasse to complete the work. Roger- Ducasse’s additions were however very extensive; he even altered and supplemented some of Fauré’s own markings in the exposition.

Bärenreiter’s first ever scholarly critical edition of the quartet utilises all sources including the composer’s letters which provide valuable insights into the origins of the composition.

In particular, Fauré’s penultimate work, the Piano Trio op. 120, was used to guide the editor with his emendations.
