More than half a quartet

Wed. 15 October 2025 19:00

Elyti's house, Plaka

Despite the wide range of the two instruments' mastery and timber, composers had not found a way to express the combination of violin and cello, until the beginning of the 20th century. Few composers had managed to treat the two instruments as equal collaborators and their great peers of the beginning of the 20th century had to broaden their musical dialect, looking for a common ground for the two instruments to harmonically join their pace in large-scale works. Further than their indisputable artistic value, the programme's three works vividly project the rapid developments in the European musical field during the turbulent first quarter of the 20th century.
