String Quartets - Volume XI Op. 77 and Op. 103 Study Score 弦乐四重奏 亨乐版

这是海登近七十首四重奏作品中的最后一首。海登原本打算像过去一样创作一套六首四重奏，但在 1803 年创作这些作品时，海登的健康状况非常糟糕，无法完全满足洛布科维茨王子的委托。因此，他只出版了两首完整的四重奏，即作品 77。后来，他允许将一部由两个中间乐章组成的不完整作品作为作品 103 发表，并在版面上加上了预言性的文字： "我的力量消失了，我又老又弱"。然而，从音乐上看，这些四重奏并不孱弱：它们几乎代表了这位年迈作曲家的巅峰状态。海登甚至称作品 77 第 2 号是他的 "巅峰之作"。海登甚至称作品 77 第 2 号是他 "最美的弦乐四重奏""

原文简介:
These are the last of the nearly seventy quartets in Haydn's oeuvre. Originally he intended to write a set of six quartets, as so often in the past, but at the time they were written, in 1803, Haydn's health was so poor that he could not fully satisfy the commission from Prince Lobkowitz. Instead he published only two complete quartets as op. 77. Later he allowed an incomplete work consisting of two middle movements to appear as op. 103, adding to the print the portentous words: “Gone is all my strength, old and weak am I.” Musically, however, these quartets are anything but weak: they represent the aged composer virtually at the zenith of his powers. Haydn even went so far as to call op. 77, no. 2, his “most beautiful string quartet.”
