George Enescu was born in Liveni Vîrnav, near Dorohoi, in 1881. He left us two string quartets.
The great series of chamber works which crowns Enescu’s output begins with the Third Violin Sonata (1926), and includes the Piano Quintet (1940), Second Piano Quartet (1944), Second String Quartet (1951) and Chamber Symphony (1954). Enescu stays within the bounds of late-romantic tonality and classical forms but transmutes both into a very personal idiom; ceaseless motivic development is woven into elaborate adaptations of sonata form, variation-sequences and cyclic recombinations.
- String quartet no. 1, in E flat, opus 22/1 (1920)
There are four movements:
One: Allegro moderato Two: Andante pensieroso Three: Allegretto scherzando, non troppo vivace Four: Allegretto moderato
It was performed by the Ad Libitum Quartet.
- String quartet no. 2, in G, opus 22/2 (1951)
There are four movements:
1. Molto moderato 2. Andante molto sostenuto ed espressivo 3. Allegretto non troppo mosso 4. Con moto - Molto moderato, energico
It was performed by the Ad Libitum Quartet.
