For a long time K. did not attract the attention of the conc. the public who visited Ch. arr. Italian opera performances, instrumental performances. virtuosos and singers. Only at the end. 18th century (1794) a permanent prof. was organized in Vienna. K., maintained by the philanthropist Prince K. Likhnovsky. The group included prominent Viennese musicians: I. Schuppanzig, J. Meiseder, F. Weiss, J. Linke. In conc. in the season of 1804-1805 this ensemble gave the first music in history. art-va open public evenings of quartet music. In 1808-16 he was in the service of the Russians. Ambassador in Vienna Count A.K. Razumovsky. This K. performed all the chamber instruments for the first time. op. L. Beethoven (learned under the guidance of the composer himself), laying down the traditions of their interpretation. In 1814 in Paris, P.

German musicians br. Müller Sr., who was the first to appear, Prof. K., who toured (in 1835-51) in many. European countries (Austria, the Netherlands, Russia, etc.). However, despite the conc. activities in the 1st half. 19th century series of K. and the existence of special liters, the style of quartet performance itself was just beginning to take shape. The features of music as a performing genre have not yet been clearly defined and identified. In the quartet performance there were strong manifestations of the solo virtuoso principle; K. was considered by many not as a single performing ensemble, but as a chapter. arr. as the “entourage” of this or that virtuoso violinist. The programs of the quartet evenings were of a mixed solo and chamber nature. Works written in the so-called genre occupied a large place in them. “brilliant quartet” (Quator brillant) with a spectacular virtuoso part of the first violin (quartets by N. Paganini, J. Meiseder, L. Spohr, etc.). Listeners appreciated not so much the ensemble as the soloist’s performance. K. were organized mainly by outstanding virtuosos; their composition was random and unstable. Underscore solo start was also reflected in the location of K.'s participants. For example, W. Bull performed the first violin part in W. A. ​​Mozart's quartet, standing on the stage, while other participants played while sitting in the orchestra. pit. The usual arrangement of K. artists to the end. 19th century was different than now. time (the first violinist sat opposite the second, the cellist - opposite the violist). The formation of the quartet style of performance went simultaneously with the development of quartet music, the enrichment and complication of the style of quartet writing. New creativity arose before the performing ensemble. tasks. The main historical the tendency is from the predominance of the solo principle to the establishment of balance between the departments. the voices of the ensemble, the unity of its sound, the unification of the quartetists on the basis of a single art. interpretation plan. The first violinist, while maintaining a leading role in the ensemble, became only “first among equals.” At the same time, the formation of the performance style was influenced by the environment in which the concerts were held (small halls designed for a narrow circle of “selected” listeners), which gave the quartet music-making an intimate chamber character. The quartet style received its most complete expression in the performing work of the J. Joachim Quartet (Berlin), which worked in 1869-1907 and created highly artistic works. examples of interpretation of classics. and romantic quartet music. His art revealed the typical features of quartet performance - stylistic unity, organic. unity of sound, careful and fine finishing of production parts, unity of technical. game techniques. During these years, K. became widespread, especially in Germany. Outstanding Western European The ensemble was K., principal. French violinist L.

In modern period K. occupy a large place in the end. life. Technique of playing plural. K. reached a high, sometimes virtuoso, degree of perfection. The influence of modern quartet music. composers manifested themselves in the expansion of timbre and dynamics. palette of quartet sound, enriched rhythmic. sides of the quartet game.

In 1835, an outstanding violinist, director of the Pridv. singing choir in St. Petersburg A.F. Lvov was organized by prof. K., not inferior to the best foreign quartet ensembles of the 19th century. This K. was highly valued by R. Schumann and G. Berlioz. Despite the fact that his activities took place in an atmosphere of closed music-making (K. did not perform in open paid concerts), the ensemble introduced St. Petersburg over the 20-year period of work. audience with the best productions. classic music. In the 1st half. 19th century open public concerts in St. Petersburg were given by K., led by A. Vietun and F. Böhm (the latter played a large role in the popularization of L. Beethoven’s quartet music).
