Details by Edition Silvertrust:
String Quartet No. 2 in d, Op.26 dates from 1889 (1887 according to IMSLP), Busoni’s last year spent in Leipzig at which point he was no longer studying at the Conservatory. The Quartet begins with a massive and very powerful Allegro energico. After 3 unison chords, the cello brings forth an ominous theme which is sounded over a low, lengthy pedal note in the 2nd violin and a series of hurried 8th notes of the same pitch in the viola. There is an instant sense of urgency. Tension grows as this theme is developed. Suddenly, a furious and heroic second theme of powerful 8th notes bursts forth as the viola and 2nd violin each present a measure and a half of it in a virtuosic hand-off. We find traditional tonality cleverly interspersed with modernity and the music virtually bristles with original and unusual ideas. The Beethovian second movement, Andante con moto, is much more traditional. It begins as a lovely, melancholy duet between the cello and first violin. Next comes a Vivace assai. It is a scherzo that might make perfect music for a frenzied chase down a torch lit but dark passage way beneath a mediaeval castle. Busoni begins the finale with an introduction, Andantino. It is pensive though not ominous and bears no relationship to themood of main movement, Allegro con brio (mit Humor). The first subject is given to the cello alone with the development beginning with a short fugue which is gradually torn apart by a process of chromatic disintegration. For 1889, there are a lot of advanced tonalities and fresh rhythmic ideas to be found here. This Quartet belongs in the front rank. It is a masterpiece, very original and entirely successful. It should be in the repertoire and is highly recommended to professional quartets looking for an accessible modern work by an accomplished composer.
