Wigmore Hall Mondays: Jerusalem Quartet

Live from Wigmore Hall in London, Sara Mohr-Pietsch presents a performance by the Jerusalem Quartet. Beethoven: String Quartet in G, Op 18 No 2. Bartok: String Quartet No 6.

Live from Wigmore Hall, London, the Jerusalem Quartet performs quartets by Beethoven and Bartok. Beethoven builds the elaborate first and second movements of his Op.18 No.2 from a simple melodic idea; Bartok prefaces his String Quartet No. 6 with the same melancholy theme and uses it as the basis of the work's introspective finale.
