String Quartet Nr. 2 d-Moll 弦乐四重奏 骑熊士版

1883年的第二弦乐四重奏是斯美塔那最后一部室内乐作品。与第一弦乐四重奏不同，作曲家对这部作品没有任何纲领性的解释。不过，从斯美塔那的许多信件中可以看出，这首四重奏也可以被视为个人的忏悔之作。他在谈到第一乐章时写道 "我对这个乐章的形式有疑问。它的形式很不寻常，很难理解。整个乐章中弥漫着一种崩溃的情绪，在我看来会给演奏者带来极大的困难。这是我不幸生活的结果"

原文简介:
The second string quartet of 1883 is Smetana’s last chamber music work. Unlike the first string quartet, no programmatic explanation by the composer about this work exists. However, this quartet can also be regarded as a personal confession, as emerges from numerous letters by Smetana. He wrote of the first movement: “I have my doubts with regard to the form of this movement. It has a very unusual form and is difficult to understand. A kind of breakdown prevails throughout the movement and will cause, so it seems to me, the players extreme difficulty. This is a result of my unhappy life.”

The quartet elicited mixed responses – the unusual character of the whole composition, its brevity, discontinuity and density were also seen by Smetana’s admirers for a long time as a sign of an incomplete creative process. However, the opposite is true. This work was far ahead of its time. In its uncompromising quality, it points the way to works of the 20th century.

The musical text of the new edition is based on the “Study Edition of the Works of Bedrich Smetana”, Volume XV – Chamber Music Works.
