Leonkoro bedeutet Löwenherz auf Esperanto, und was auch immer das junge Berliner Streichquartett damit verbindet, es scheint die vier Musikerinnen und Musiker zu beflügeln: mit gerade mal Mitte zwanzig gelten sie „schon heute als eines der allerbesten Quartette“, sagt immerhin Alfred Brendel. Seit erst vier Jahren spielt das Leonkoro Quartett zusammen und setzt deutliche Maßstäbe in Ausdruckskraft, Stilsicherheit und Emotionalität.

Die russische Geigerin Alina Ibragimova hat einen Hang zu Gesamtaufnahmen. Das von Ibragimova 2005 gegründete Chiaroscuro Quartet durchschreitet zurzeit die Streichquartette von Joseph Haydn. Die neueste Haydn-Aufnahme mit den ersten drei der so genannten „Russischen Quartette“ op. 33 lohnt das Zuhören unbedingt.

Keiner ist galanter als der Schlesier Johann Gottlieb Janitsch. Seine filigranen Quartette sind Meisterwerke des empfindsamen Stils. Die Schweizer Freitagsakademie interpretiert sie feinnervig und filigran. Eine unbedingte Empfehlung.

Der passionierte Quartettspieler Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart macht sich ab 1782 dran, seinem großen Vorbild Joseph Haydn mit eigenen Streichquartetten eine Antwort zu komponieren. Diese „hart erarbeiteten Früchte“, wie er die Quartette nennt, sind denn auch keine bloße Nachahmung des Haydn'schen Musters, sondern nichts Geringeres als die Definition eines eigenen, ganz individuellen Quartettstils.

In episode 212, Gustav Soderstrom guest stars as a dignitary who suffers from propylene stainers quartette psyche syndrome. The gang tries to help him with his disorder, but it's no easy task.

Vor allem junge Quartette fühlen sich von der direkten Klangsprache in Schuberts 14. Streichquartett angezogen. Diesem unterliegt ein Lied, das Schubert sieben Jahre zuvor geschrieben hat: «Der Tod und das Mädchen», worin der Tod dem «schönen und zarten Gebild» seine Knochenhand reichen wird.  Klare Aussage. Doch soll man das auch so schwarzweiss spielen, wie der Notentext einen verlockt? Oder besser mit Zwischentönen? Die Diskothek zu Franz Schuberts Quartett mit seinen sinfonischen Ausmassen und der Erzählkraft auch einer sinfonischen Dichtung, wie ein Dirigent einmal anmerkte. Gäste von Benjamin Herzog sind die Sängerin und Künstlerische Leiterin der Basler Gesellschaft für Kammermusik, Franziska Hirzel, und der Cellist Christoph Dangel.

Mozart hat sie geliebt – die Streichquartette op.33 von Joseph Haydn. Sie waren ihm Inspiration für eigene Quartette. Auch für andere waren sie das „Mass aller Dinge“. Und selbst Haydn wirbt für sie mit einem eigenen Slogan.

Die leere C-Saite einer Bratsche, das Stimmen der Instrumente vorm Konzert, das Ploppen einer kühlen Bierflasche beim Öffnen – das seien für sie mit die schönsten Klänge, sagen die Musiker*innen des Aris Quartetts! Ein Streichquartett von Schubert aber toppt das alles noch. Egal, ob es eines seiner späten Quartette ist oder eines, das er als Teenager geschrieben hat, wie unser Musikstück der Woche. Da war Schubert 13 und Schüler am Wiener Stadtkonvikt.

Why it's an Edwardian girls' school, can't you tell?  This way to the Headmistress' office..." http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/OpeWin.shtml ************************************************************* [transcript follows] The Saki Quartette Adapted by Julie Hoverson from several stories. I am a huge fan of H.H. Munro, who wrote under the pen name Saki in the early years of the 20th century.  His career ended prematurely when he was killed in The Great War at the age of 46. Saki is mainly remembered today for the amazing story "The Open Window," which I encourage everyone to read before listening to this episode, so I don't spoil it for you.  It's available on Project Gutenberg, you can get a reading on librivox, it's around.  It is considered to be one of the best short stories ever written in English, right up there with The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. While Saki wrote a number of supernatural, suspense, or speculative stories, his forte was relatively cruel humor - but always inflicted on those pompous enough that you didn't feel too badly for them.  And since nobody really got hurt - unless you take it from a modern "mental damage" perspective, you can laugh.  Clovis Sangrail was an ever-recurrent character who sailed through many stories leaving havoc in his wake, but Vera from The Open Window reappeared from time to time as well (later described as a "flapper") - the two of them intersecting in The Almanac. This episode is an homage to Saki, and incorporates elements from four of his short stories - Shock Tactics, The Boar-Pig, The Storyteller, and of course The Open Window - with a bit of wrap story that is entirely my own. Three of the four principal girls were from my old high school's drama department, the fourth was me.  Several of the other voices were drawn from ART (American Radio Theater).  It's not a perfect recording - we can't seem to keep the pronunciation of "aunt" straight between us (including me) - and I hadn't yet learned how to clean tracks perfectly yet, but overall it's fun and quite funny. Episodes like this were one reason I determined form the start that I wasn't going to nail myself into a "horror story" format.  The name "19 Nocturne Boulevard" is suggestive of the dark side, but open-ended enough to go anywhere I wanted to go. And as an aside, it has nothing to do with nocturne alley, is it, from Harry Potter?  Several people have commented on that, but when I created 19 Nocturne Boulevard, it was sometime around 2006, and I hadn't - I may have heard of Harry Potter, but I never actually read the books.  This was entirely on my own.  It's not a pun like Nocturne alley - nocturnally - was. I remember the summer of sitting there and thinking I want a number, and an address that sounds cool - what's a cool street? While sitting around at meetings of American Radio Theater. ******************************************************** SAKI QUARTETTE   Cast: Olivia, host Vera [open window] [15], sly Matilda [boar-pig] [14], mischievous Helen [shock tactics] [10], eager Nora [storyteller] [11], shy, rules-bound Alice [15], older girl, screams a lot [Shock Tactics] Bertie, Helen's older brother Heasant, their mother [Boar-Pig] Stossen Miss Stossen [Storyteller] Bachelor [open window] Nuttel Vera's Aunt Vera's Uncle OLIVIA    Did you have any trouble finding it?  What do you mean, what kind of a place is it?  Why, it's an Edwardian girls' school, can't you tell?  This way to the headmistress's office.

HELEN   Why send us here if we're only to wait? NORA   [startled]  Huh?  What? HELEN   Oh, Nora.  I wish I could sleep with my eyes open.  I said, 'Why--' ALICE   [superior]  To put us into the proper frame of mind.  To contemplate our misdeeds.  HELEN    That's silly - I've been thinking about anything and everything BUT my misdeeds. ALICE   That's adults for you. SOUND   FOOTSTEPS APPROACH.  MATILDA SITS. MATILDA   Well, well.  Fresh blood? ALICE   They don't look very promising. HELEN    [huff] I'll have you know I've been called on the carpet plenty of times-- MATILDA   [sweetly, cutting her off] --don't care.  Besides, I wasn't referring to that.  [aside, to Alice]  You're right, they're not much good.  I think one of 'em is a waxwork. ALICE   Oh, well-- SOUND   DOOR OPENS.  SLOW FOOTSTEPS. VERA   [heaves a deep sigh]  Your turn, Miss Tramplethorpe. ALICE   Once more into the breach. SOUND   BENCH SQUEAKS AS SHE STANDS.  SLOW FOOTSTEPS.  DOOR SHUTS. VERA   If you don't mind, I'll join you for a bit. NORA   But you should be getting back-- SOUND    FOOTSTEPS, BENCH MATILDA   Not a mannequin, then.  No one will notice, at least for a bit.  Was it truly awful, Vera? VERA   Rather.  SOUND   MUFFLED BY DOOR, SOUND OF SIX SMACKS [RULER ACROSS HAND] UNDERLIE THE TALKING. NORA   What did you do?  What did ...she do? VERA   I?  I did nothing.  I will swear it to my grave. MATILDA   It's vulgar to ask for details. HELEN   I talked back to a teacher.  I've been told.  She didn't make any mention of it at the time, but I got a note sending me here. NORA   It's all quiet now, is it ...over? MATILDA   Of course not.  There's always castigation.  HELEN   Isn't that immodest? MATILDA   [sighs impatiently] VERA   It means Miss Twicket will be talking at her for some time.  Then there may be more strokes, depending on whether she is contrite. NORA   Are you contrite? HELEN   [superior] It's vulgar to ask. VERA   [chuckles] But I'm not.  It was entirely worth it.  [to Matilda, over the smaller girls]  I'll have to get back soon, Matilda, should we have a quick go-round? MATILDA   Without Alice? SOUND   ALICE WAILS, MUFFLED BY THE DOOR. VERA   [wincing] She'll likely be a while.  MATILDA   What about the small fry? NORA   That's not very nice. HELEN    I'll have you know-- VERA   Oh, let's.  They'll never split on us - will you? NORA   But - but - but what is it you--? HELEN   [eager] I'll never tell.  I'm not a sneak. NORA   But we don't even know what-- MATILDA   Promise or you'll never know. HELEN   I promise.  I'll never reveal anything, even under torture with wild horses. NORA   Well... HELEN   If you don't promise, you're doing me out, too. NORA   [reluctant]  I don't know.  Ow!  [she's been pinched] I won't tell!!  VERA and MATILDA laugh. VERA   It's not so very awful, ducklings.  We have a bit of a club - we call it the Ducks and Geese.  We each take any chance we get to play little tricks on people, and then share the stories.  We're the ducks... HELEN   And they are the Geese?   MATILDA   Yes.  And whomever has the best story, wins.  NORA   Wins?  What? MATILDA   Vera here is quite a champion liar. VERA   [correcting]  I prefer the term "romancer." MATILDA   We always meet here, so we all have to get ourselves into scrapes from time to time, just so we can link up. HELEN   [excited, but controlling herself]  How does one join? MATILDA   You have to have a story.  Something good.  I've got a lovely one from last summer holiday. VERA   Oh, I expect I can top it. SOUND   SLAPPING AGAIN, SIX OF THE BEST.  ALICE    [off] [HOWLS in pain] HELEN   [chagrined]  Oh.  Goodness.  [beat] well, I haven't really... NORA   I would never-- MATILDA   [dry]  I'm shocked.  [to Vera]  Oh, well, we'll have to talk later.  Perhaps Alice will be out soon. HELEN   Since I didn't know to prepare, what if I have a truly lovely story, even though it wasn't me that did the joke? MATILDA   I don't think so.  Sorry. VERA   Well...  We might listen.  It will pass some time, and then we can deliberate. MATILDA   It had better be good. HELEN   I think so - My older brother has a friend-- VERA   Oh, not a friend of a friend tale - those are old enough to have beards. HELEN   --this friend is quite the card. MATILDA   An ace or a joker? HELEN   His name is Clovis Sangrail. [SILENCE FOR A MOMENT] VERA   Oh-ho!  MATILDA   Truly?  You know Clovis?  Perhaps we should make you a member just on the basis of that.  NORA   Who is Clovis Singrill? VERA   [very superior] Sangrail.  He is our own Jove - the very top of the tree when it comes to our sort of japes. MATILDA   Absolutely the lobster's dress shirt.  Though if I do say so myself, a distant cousin of mine, Reginald, is starting to make a good showing. VERA   Go on, then.  You must tell us your Clovis story.  We might decide to be kind, even if it would be nepotism of a sort. MATILDA   Clever by association.  What was your name, again, duckling? HELEN   Helen.  Well, my oldest brother Bertie was chafing terribly, since being nearly 20, he felt mother should stop reading his private correspondence. VERA   Oh, I cured mine of that long ago. HELEN   Yes, but Bertie's simply not assertive - not on his own.  SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK SCENE HELEN   [fading] So one day, a letter arrives... MRS. HEASANT   [off, a wail, then coming on]  Ohhh!  Helen!  Oh, heavens, Helen!  Bertie is in the toils of an adventuress!  [ominously]  Her name is Clotilde! HELEN   Truly, mother?  Where?  In the rose garden? MRS. HEASANT   No!  In the post! HELEN   How did they fit in the post? MRS. HEASANT   Hssh!  Listen to this:  "Bertie, carissimo, I wonder if you will have the nerve to do it.  Don't forget the jewels.  They are a detail, but details interest me.  Yours as ever, Clotilde.  Postscript - Your mother must not know of my existence.  If questioned swear you never heard of me."  HELEN   Clotilde?  I don't know of any-- MRS. HEASANT   Well, your brother certainly does! HELEN   Perhaps he only just-- MRS. HEASANT   Oh, no!  "As Ever" she says!  As ever!  They've been carrying on under my very nose for ...who knows how long. HELEN   [narrating]  When my brother returned home, mother braced him with the incriminating Clotilde, and of course he denied it. MRS. HEASANT   How well you have learned your lesson! HELEN   He really didn't make much of it, and when she insisted he would have no dinner unless he confessed, I saw him take rather a quantity of sandwich materials up to his room with him.  Then, with the next post: NORA   [completely enthralled] Another letter? HELEN   Oh, yes.  SOUND   INSISTENT KNOCKING ON DOOR BERTIE   [muffled, speaking through door]  What is it this time? MRS. HEASANT   Miserable boy!  What have you done to Dagmar? BERTIE    [muffled]  It's Dagmar now, is it?  It will be Geraldine next. MRS. HEASANT   [in absolute hysterics]  That it should come to this, after all my efforts.  It's no use; Clotilde's letter betrays everything.  [reading] "Poor Dagmar.  Now she is done for I almost pity her.  The servants all think it was suicide.  Better not touch the jewels till after the inquest.  Clotilde."  [leaves off with a wail] SOUND   DOOR OPENS BERTIE   I don't suppose this letter betrays who this Clotilde is?  Seriously, mother, if you go on like this I shall have to go fetch a doctor; I've often enough been preached at about nothing, but I've never had an imaginary harem dragged into the discussion. SOUND   DOOR SLAMS HELEN   Mother could have used a doctor, for she was utterly purple about the face from screaming, and had to go and have a lie down - at least until the next post. SOUND   KNOCKING ON DOOR, MUCH SUBDUED MRS. HEASANT   [also much subdued] Bertie?  Bertie, darling? BERTIE   What is it this time?  Have I stolen the Mona Lisa? MRS. HEASANT   No.  You... have another letter.  From ... Mr. Sangrail.  SOUND   DOOR IS FLUNG OPEN BERTIE   [not giving an inch]  Why not go on and tell me what he has to say?  MRS. HEASENT   [clears throat, then reads, much abashed]  "Dear Bertie.  I hope I haven't distracted your brain with the spoof letters.  You told me the other day that ...somebody... at your home [ahem] tampered with your letters, so I thought I would give them something exciting to read. [slowing with embarrassment]  The... shock might do them good..." HELEN   [finishing up]  And then, Bertie threatened to get a nerve specialist in to look at mother, since she was obviously far too highly strung - and she couldn't possibly stand the scandal, she said - and they agreed he wouldn't - but only if she would stop.  Reading his mail, you see. NORA   [concerned]  But, did she? HELEN   [ominous] So far. MATILDA   We'll review your application.  Next? NORA   I?  Oh, I truly don't have anything... VERA   [warning] You'd best think of something.  We can't have outsiders hearing all our secrets. MATILDA   I'll go ahead and tell mine - it's not so exotic as to cause a panic, and it will give this little gosling time to think. VERA   I suppose so.  What do you think, Helen? HELEN   [surprised and thrilled] Me?  Oh!  [trying to sound grown up and important]  Oh.  I think we should give her one more chance.  She had no time to prepare, after all. SOUND   SMACKING AGAIN FROM WITHIN, ALICE WAILS MATILDA   Speaking of preparing - I'd best be quick, as I believe I'm next for the chop.  Very well, I was staying with my aunt in the country, and it was the day of a very important garden party - some princess was attending and everyone wanted to come.  My aunt gloated over the guest list for days.  VERA   What is it with aunts?  It's as if we all have at least one who is utterly impossible. NORA   [something is coming to her] Ah!  Aunts... MATILDA   Mine told me to be on my best behavior, and to imitate my insipid cousin, Claude, which would have been quite horrible.  HELEN   [bold, trying to sound knowing] I think everyone must have a cousin Claude or Eggbert, or ... something [falters] as... as well as an aunt... MATILDA   [sigh, eye roll] So... so, when they got on me for eating too much raspberry trifle at luncheon, they said over and over that Claude would never do a thing like that.  So when Claude went down for his nap - imagine, he's all of 11 and still goes meekly to afternoon naps like an infant. GIRLS    [SNICKER] VERA   He's the type who will end up married to someone quite overbearing. HELEN   Like an aunt? GIRLS    [SNICKER TERRIBLY] MATILDA   While he was napping, I took the opportunity to take a huge dish of raspberry trifle and force feed it to him - well, much of it got on his sailor suit and the bed, but enough went down him that they will never again be able to say he's never eaten too much raspberry trifle. VERA   Oh, that's a good one! NORA   I do have a story! MATILDA   I'm not finished - that is merely the prologue to my tale, explaining why I was sitting in the back paddock, rather than prancing about the garden party with Claude and Auntie. NORA   Oh!  I'm so-- VERA   Shh.  Pray continue, scherezade. HELEN   I thought her name was Matilda? VERA   Oh, hush. MATILDA   [taking a deep breath]  So I was sitting in a medlar tree, being stupefied with boredom, when I saw two ladies, dressed as if for the garden party, sail through the paddock in an attempt at infiltration. HELEN   Weren't they rather obvious? MATILDA   There was really no one there to see, excepting myself.  And they never once looked up as they passed by.  Well, with no ulterior motive in mind, I decided to let aunt's prize boar-pig, Tarquin Superbus, into the paddock behind them.  It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I knew the gate they were aiming for was locked and they would be forced to come back the same way. GIRLS    [GIGGLE] SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK MATILDA   So, when they did... SOUND   OUTDOORS AMBIANCE.  BIRDS.  SLIGHT PIG SNUFFLING IN THE BACKGROUND MRS. STOSSEN   [fading in] I stopped Mrs. Cuvering in the road yesterday and talked very pointedly about the Princess.  If she didn't choose to take the hint and send me an invitation it's not my fault, is it? SOUND   DEEP PIG NOISES MISS STOSSEN   Oh! MRS. STOSSEN   Oomph! [pulling up short, irritated] What?  Oh!  What a villainous-looking animal, it wasn't there when we came in. MISS STOSSEN   It's there now, anyhow.  I mean, what on earth are we to do? I wish we had never come. BOTH STOSSENS   Shoo!  Hish! SOUND   CLOSER, DEEP PIG NOISES MATILDA   [slightly off] If you think you'll drive him away by reciting lists of the kings of Israel and Judah, you're laying yourselves out for disappointment. MRS. STOSSEN   Oh!  Little girl!  MISS STOSSEN   Can you find someone to drive away-- MATILDA   [French] Comment? Comprends-pas. [cohm-oh? cohm-prawn pah - what? I don't understand] NOTE   MATILDA'S FRENCH IS REASONABLY SMOOTH.  MRS. STOSSEN'S IS VERY BAD. MRS. STOSSEN   Oh, are you French?  Etes vous Francaise? [et voo fran-sehz? - are you French?] MATILDA   Pas du tout.  Suis Anglaise.  [pah doo toot.  sweez ahn-glehz - not at all.  I'm English] MRS. STOSSEN   Then why not talk English?  I want to know if-- MATILDA   Permettez-moi expliquer.  [pair-meh-tay mwa eks-plee-kay - let me explain] [narrating again] And I went into a rather long description of Claude and aunt and the raspberry trifle, ending with -- [slightly off again] ...and as an additional punishment I must speak French all the afternoon.  I've had to tell you all this in English, as there were words like 'forcible feeding' that I didn't know the French for.  Mais maintenant, nous parlons francais.  [may mant-noh, new par-lon frahn-say - and now, we will speak French] MRS. STOSSEN   Oh, very well, tres bien [tray bee-ehn].  [with much difficulty] La, a l'autre cote de la porte, est...um... [la, a low-truh coat de la port, ehst... - there, on the other side of the door, is...]  [to Miss S] um, a pig? MISS STOSSEN   Oh, goodness, un grenouille? [uhn grahn-wee?] MRS. STOSSEN    No, no.  I'm reasonably certain that's a frog.  Oh, yes - un cochon. [uhn koh-shawn - a pig] MATILDA   Un cochon? Ah, le petit charmant! [uhn koh-shawn?  Ah, le pet-eet shar-mont! - a pig,oh the little sweet!] MRS. STOSSEN   Mais non, pas du tout petit, et pas du tout charmant; un bete feroce!  [may noh, pah doo too peh-teet, ay pah doo too shar-mont; un bet feh-rohs! - but no, not at all little, and not at all sweet; a beast ferocious!] MATILDA   Une bete. [Oon bet]  A pig is masculine as long as you call it a pig, but if you lose your temper with it and call it a ferocious beast it becomes one of us at once.  French is a dreadfully unsexing language. MRS. STOSSEN   For goodness' sake let us talk English then.  MISS STOSSEN   Is there any way out of this garden except through the paddock where the pig is? SOUND   OUTSIDE AMBIENCE ENDS ABRUPTLY SOUND   FOOTSTEPS IN HALLWAY GIRLS    [SHUSH THEMSELVES, PRACTICALLY STOPPING BREATHING, AS THE FOOTSTEPS GET CLOSER.] NORA   [Hiccups.  She tries to smother it, but cannot.] HELEN   [whispered] Shh.  Hold your breath! SOUND   THE FOOTSTEPS ARE RIGHT ON THEM, AND STOP. HELEN   [gasp] NORA   [Hiccups continue.  She is almost crying with the effort of trying to stop.] SOUND   FOOTSTEPS GO OFF.  AS SOON AS THEY ARE OUT OF EARSHOT-- VERA   Whew.  She's a tartar. MATILDA   Not a sympathetic bone in her body. HELEN   Why didn't she say anything? VERA   She knows we're already in for it. NORA   Well, [hiccup] you've already been in for it - was it really that [hiccup] bad? SOUND   AS IF ON CUE, SMACKING AND ALICE'S WHIMPERS FROM BEHIND THE DOOR. NORA   [gasps - her hiccups are now gone] HELEN   So what happened with your boar-pig?  Did he devour the invaders? MATILDA   Devour them?  Oh no - Tarquin Superbus prefers rotten fruit to interlopers any day.  They bribed me to lead him away.  I don't think they were best pleased about it, once they realized what a sweet disposition he has. NORA   But of course, they were in the wrong, trying to crash a party like that.  So you were merely punishing them. VERA   Right and wrong have less than nothing to do with it.  We're not the courts, or even public opinion.  A joke is a joke, even if it's on a perfectly nice person who doesn't deserve it in the least. MATILDA   Though it is much more fun, and less likely to get one into severe hot water, when the person joked on can't complain without revealing their own shortcomings. NORA   I -- VERA   Speak up gosling.  A sentence is comprised of at least two words. NORA   [whispered] I might ... have a story. MATILDA   Five!  And with a full stop.  Alright, then, pray continue. NORA   We were on a train.  It was some years back, and my aunt was exceedingly boring.  There was a gentleman in the carriage with us, and when he stooped so low as to criticize my aunt's storytelling abilities, she dared him to tell one. MUSIC   FOR FLASHBACK NORA   [sounding very young throughout flashbacks] Yes, please - tell us a story!  [narrating] Anything would have been better than my aunt's stories - you would have thought she was never a child herself. MATILDA   I say, there's an idea - perhaps aunts arrive like motorcars, fully assembled from the factory? VERA   Shh.  Give ear to the duckling. NORA   [pause] Oh, me?  Yes.  Well, the story-- SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK.  TRAIN LOOP BEHIND BACHELOR BACHELOR    Very well.  Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Bertha, who was extraordinarily good.  She did all that she was told, she was always truthful, she kept her clothes clean, learned her lessons perfectly, and was polite in her manners.  She was ...horribly good. VERA   [slightly off] Can one be horribly good?  Truly? MATILDA   [slightly off] Claude.  Definitely. VERA   [agreeing] Mm. BACHELOR   She was so good, that she won several medals for goodness, which she always wore, pinned on to her dress.  They were large metal medals and they clinked against one another as she walked.  No other child in the town where she lived had as many as three medals, so everybody knew that she must be an extra good child. NORA   [young, gleeful] Horribly good. BACHELOR   The Prince got to hear about Bertha, and said that as she was so very good she might walk in his park.  NORA   [young] Were there any sheep in his park? BACHELOR   No.  There were no sheep. NORA   [young] Why weren't there any sheep? BACHELOR   Because the Prince's mother had once had a dream that her son would either be killed by a sheep or else by a clock falling on him. The Prince never kept a sheep in his park or a clock in his palace. VERA   Oh, very good.  MATILDA   Was this fellow passenger by any chance a long, lithe, languid type with a somewhat nasal voice? NORA   No, why? VERA   She was wondering whether you've encountered Clovis as well.  Roll along. NORA   Oh, so, um, he said the park was full of little black, gray, and white pigs, and -- BACHELOR   --Bertha was rather sorry to find that there were no flowers in the park. She had promised her aunts, with tears in her eyes, that she would not pick any of the kind Prince's flowers, and she had meant to keep her promise, so of course it made her feel silly to find that there were no flowers to pick. NORA    [young] Why weren't there any flowers? BACHELOR   Because the pigs had eaten them all. VERA   [to Matilda] You know, I'm becoming quite convinced you're right, though the story hardly sounds vicious enough for Clovis. NORA   Oh, I just haven't gotten to the-- um... VERA   To the "um..."?  Very well. NORA   Bertha was just thinking-- BACHELOR   [falsetto] --'If I were not so extraordinarily good I should not have been allowed to come into this beautiful park,' and her medals clinked against one another to remind her how very good she was.  Just then an enormous wolf came prowling into the park to see if it could catch a fat little pig for its supper.  The first thing that it saw in the park was Bertha; her pinafore was so spotlessly white and clean that it could be seen from a great distance. MATILDA   I have never heard a better argument against cleanliness.  I shall go out and get myself despicably filthy forthwith. HELEN   After your visit inside. MATILDA   [annoyed] THANK you.  I had actually managed to forget that for a bit. NORA   [quickly jumps in]  Bertha saw the wolf and she began to wish that she had never been allowed to come into the park... BACHELOR   ...She ran as hard as she could, and the wolf came after her with huge leaps and bounds.  She managed to reach a shrubbery of myrtle bushes and hid herself.  The wolf came sniffing among the branches, its pale grey eyes glaring with rage.  Bertha was terribly frightened, and thought to herself: [falsetto]  'If I had not been so extraordinarily good I should have been safe in the town at this moment.'  However, the scent of the myrtle was so strong that the wolf could not sniff out where Bertha was, so he thought he might as well go off and catch a little pig instead.   VERA   Definitely not Clovis. NORA   [cross, almost yelling]  LET ME FINISH! MATILDA   Hmph!  Well, proceed. NORA   Bertha trembled and the medal for obedience clinked against the medals for good conduct and punctuality.   BACHELOR   The wolf heard the sound of the medals clinking and dashed into the bush, dragged Bertha out, and devoured her to the last morsel.  All that was left were her shoes, bits of clothing, and three medals for goodness. HELEN   Were any of the little pigs killed? MATILDA and VERA laugh somewhat scornfully NORA   Funny, that's just what my brother asked.  No.  They all got away.  We all agreed it was the most beautiful story we'd ever heard - well, except for aunt, who seemed to find it highly improper. MATILDA   We shall have to write to Clovis and find out if he's been engaged in the railway storytelling circuit. VERA   [chuckles]  NORA   This was some years ago, when I was quite young. VERA and MATILDA chuckle again.  HELEN joins in, but a bit too loudly. VERA   I fear, my darlings, that I shall still take the palm today, for I had occasion recently for the most stupendous jape of all...  [PAUSE] HELEN   Well? VERA   I am composing myself. NORA   [gasps] MATILDA   Oh, not again. NORA   [hastily reassuring] No, no. VERA   I am ready.  I must be careful and include all the vitally important details, for this was more than a mere trick on an aunt... SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK VERA   [narrating] There was a tedious little man visiting our neighborhood for some sort of rest cure.  [to Nuttel]  Do you know many of the people round here? NUTTEL   Hardly a soul.  My sister stayed nearby some four years ago, and she gave me letters of introduction to some of the people here. VERA   [calculating]  Then you know practically nothing about my aunt? HELEN   More aunts? MATILDA   Aunts are universal.  Now Shh. NUTTEL    Only your aunt and uncle's names and the address. VERA   Uncle.  Oh I see.  [confidential] Aunt's great tragedy happened just three years ago.  That would be since your sister's time. NUTTEL   T-Tragedy? VERA   You may wonder why we keep that French window wide open on an October afternoon. NUTTEL   It is quite warm for the time of the year, but ... tragedy? VERA   [ominous] Out through that window, three years ago to a day, Aunt's husband and brothers went off shooting... and never came back.  In crossing the moor, they were engulfed in a treacherous piece of bog.  Their bodies were never recovered. [voice breaks]  That was the dreadful part of it.  Poor aunt thinks that they will come back some day, with uncle's little brown spaniel, and walk in that window just as they used to do.  [almost a whisper]  Do you know, sometimes on still, quiet evenings like this, I almost get a creepy feeling that they will all walk in through that window-- [shudder] NUTTEL   Uh, yes... SOUND   DOOR, SWIFT FOOTSTEPS AUNT   I hope Vera has been amusing you? NUTTEL   [spooked] She has been very... interesting. AUNT   I hope you don't mind the open window.  My husband and brothers will be home directly, and they always come in this way. NUTTEL   Um, yes.  [changing the subject]  Um, yes - [awkward pause] the doctors agree in ordering me complete rest and an absence of mental excitement.  On the subject of diet, they are less in agreement. AUNT   [bored]  Ah?  NUTTEL   Some opine that toast with marmalade is better for digestion, while other lean more towards toast without. AUNT   [yawns] NUTTEL   Still other physicians insist on no toast at all.  On the subject of eggs... AUNT   [brightening]  Aha! Here they are at last!  Just in time for tea! VERA   [narrating] I put on my best look of wide-eyed fear and stared - I always think of cats when I do that. NUTTEL   [confused] What?  [panicked] Ahhh! SOUND   RUNNING FEET, DOOR OPENS, SLAMS CLOSED. NOTE   MILK THIS MOMENT FOR SUSPENSE SOUND   OMINOUSLY SLOW, SQUISHY FOOTSTEPS APPROACH.  DOG YIPS MOURNFULLY, then UNCLE   Here we are, my dear.  Who was that who bolted out as we came up? AUNT   A most extraordinary man, a Mr. Nuttel.  Could only talk about his illnesses, and dashed off without a word of good-bye or apology when you arrived.  One would think he had seen a ghost. VERA   I expect it was the spaniel.  [the awful truth]  He told me he had a horror of dogs.  He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him.  Enough to make anyone lose their nerve. MATILDA   Oh, bravo - two for the price of one! NORA   How could he be afraid of a Spaniel?  They're so-- HELEN   Silly!  She was romancing! NORA   Oh.  [thinks]  Oh!  MATILDA   And her uncle wasn't dead either. NORA   Well, I - I think I realized that. SOUND   ALICE SCREAMING FROM BEHIND THE DOOR - HORRIBLE AGONY HELEN   What?  NORA   Eek! VERA   [slightly shaken] That sounds dreadful! MATILDA   [very shaken] And I'm next! SOUND   ALICE SCREAMING TAPERS OFF TO A GURGLE MATILDA   Poor Alice! HELEN   Maybe the headmistress will wear herself out before she gets to us -- VERA   [calculating, then dry]  Perhaps, but then, she'll just summon a few prefects to help. HELEN   Really?  But - but what could she be doing? VERA   [knowing] Let's see, shall we? SOUND   SLIGHT CREAKS AS SHE TIPTOES TO DOOR VERA   Shh.

MATILDA   Oh, jolly good one, Alice.  You gave me such a turn. SOUND   SLOW SERIES OF HAND CLAPS ALICE    Yes, yes.  No autographs, please.  Screaming does dry out my throat. HELEN   It was just you...? MATILDA   I believe, this time, that Alice takes the laurel.  VERA   Oh, I don't think so. MATILDA   Whyever not? VERA   [grinning like a fiend]  Who do you think sent round the sham detention notices to bring us all here? SOUND   A MOMENT, THEN GENERAL APPLAUSE NORA   [confused] Oh? [getting it] Oh!

Beethovens "Rasumowsky"-Quartette op. 59 stießen zunächst bei den Hörern auf Unverständnis. Der ganze Zyklus wirkte auf das damalige Publikum sehr ungewöhnlich. Als "Flickwerk eines Wahnsinnigen" wurden sie bezeichnet. Was das damalige Publikum so verunsicherte, darüber hat Julia Smilga mit dem Geiger Tim Vogler gesprochen.

Robert und Clara Schumann sind zwei Jahre verheiratet. Er fühlt sich gestört, wenn sie Klavier übt. Sie langweilt sich, weil sie nicht mehr auf Konzertreisen geht. Gemeinsam studieren sie immer wieder Partituren. Dann wagt sich Schumann an ein neues Werk: drei Quartette, Opus 41. Der Zyklus beginnt mit einem Werk in a-Moll. Der Zyklus beginnt mit einem Werk in a-Moll. Wiebke Matyschok spricht über dieses Starke Stück mit drei Mitgliedern des Vogler-Quartetts.

Wer im Alter von elf Jahren Streichquartett spielt und bald darauf den Mut hat, zu Unterrichtszwecken eines der berühmtesten Quartette der Welt aufzusuchen - der weiß: ich bin für die Musik da, Musikmachen wird mein Beruf. So erging es der in Esslingen am Neckar geborenen Isabelle Faust.

Das Pariser Quatuor Ébène hat während einer Welttournee alle Streichquartette von Ludwig van Beethoven gespielt. Auf fünf Kontinenten. Dabei sind Live-Aufnahmen aller 16 Quartette entstanden. Zudem hatte Quatuor Ébène zahlreiche Begegnungen mit jungen Musikern aus verschiedensten sozialen Schichten. Es klingt erstmal vermessen: Beethoven around the world. Eine Tournee und - daraus resultierend - eine Box mit sieben CDs aller Beethoven-Quartette. Hat Beethoven Weltanspruch, gar Weltgültigkeit? Die vier Franzosen des Quatuor Ébène sehen das etwas anders. Für sie ist jedes der Quartette eine Welt für sich. Und für diese Quartettwelten interessiert sich ein Publikum weltweit. Wir haben mit dem Ensemble darüber gesprochen und über das Musikmachen in Slums und Favelas, wo die Vier mit Begeisterung willkommen geheissen wurden.

Kammermusik war, wie der Name bis heute anzeigt, einst ein Privileg der Happy Few. Als die Duos, Trios, Quartette und Quintette endlich aus der fürstlichen Kammer ausschwärmten ins öffentliche Konzert, waren zunächst Werke mit Bläsern besonders beliebt. Seinen größten Publikumserfolg erzielte Beethoven mit dem Septett op. 20.

Vor vier Jahren begeisterten sie Publikum und Jury beim ARD-Musikwettbewerb: die vier jungen Franzosen vom Quatuor Arod. Mit ihrem neuen Schubert-Album müssen sie nun hohe Erwartungen einlösen, schließlich haben die berühmtesten Quartette der Welt bei diesem Wettbewerb erste Preise bekommen: das Artemis Quartett und das Quatuor Ébène.

Eine Oper, ein Oratorium, die Zehnte Symphonie: Beethoven hat große Pläne. Zunächst aber komponiert er drei Streichquartette für den russischen Fürsten und Beethoven-Liebhaber Nicolai Galitzin. Beethoven hat nun Feuer gefangen, zwei weitere Quartette ohne Auftrag folgen: "Es muss sein!" Unterdessen setzt er seinen Neffen seelisch immer mehr unter Druck. Es kommt zur Tragödie. Und im Winter 1826 bricht eine schon lange schwelende Krankheit aus. Die Ärzte kämpfen um sein Leben.

Sie haben sich auf die Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts und der Moderne spezialisiert, sind aber auch im klassisch-romantischen Repertoire zuhause: Die vier Musiker des Quatuor Diotima gehören zu zahlreichen erstklassigen Streichquartetten aus Frankreich, die in den letzten Jahren die Kammermusik-Szene nachhaltig bereichert haben. Nun haben sie für das Label Naïve sämtliche Quartette von Béla Bartók eingespielt - Schlüsselwerke des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Die Musik von Ludwig van Beethoven kennt Ihr alle. Vor allem wahrscheinlich die berühmte 9. Sinfonie, in der er das Gedicht "An die Freude" von Schiller vertont hat und das heute die Europahymne ist. Aber kennt Ihr auch den Lebenslauf dieses großen Komponisten? Geboren wurde er 1770 in Bonn. Sein Vater war Sänger und Musiklehrer. Er merkte, dass sein Sohn Ludwig musikalisch war - und förderte ihn. Ludwig bekam eine gute Musikausbildung. Mit sieben Jahren trat er dann zum ersten Mal auf und spielte Klavier. Als Teenager wurde er fest angestellt als Organist, er spielte auch Cembalo und die Bratsche. Als Beethoven 14 Jahre alt war sagte ihm sein Musiklehrer voraus, er werde "ein zweiter Mozart" werden. Ludwig durfte nach Wien reisen, um Kompositionsschüler von Mozart zu werden. Zum Vergleich: Mozart war 14 Jahre älter als Beethoven. Ob die Männer sich jemals wirklich kennengelernt haben, ist unbekannt. Nach einigem Hin und Her blieb Beethoven also in Wien. Seine beiden Brüder zogen ebenfalls dorthin. Wovon lebte der Musiker in dieser Zeit? Er hatte das Glück, dass viele Menschen sein Talent erkannten. Ein Fürst, der Mozart gekannt hatte, verschaffte ihm eine Wohnung und zahlte ihm ein jährliches Gehalt - so konnte Beethoven unabhängig bleiben und an seiner Musik arbeiten. Als er sich später mit diesem Fürsten stritt und der seine Zahlungen einstellte, sprangen zum Glück andere Adelige ein, die ihm ein Gehalt zahlten und ihn so in Wien hielten. Er nahm Kompositionsunterricht bei Joseph Haydn, der 38 Jahre älter war. Ludwig van Beethoven schrieb viele Klaviersonaten, die er selbst als Pianist spielte. Er ging auf Tour - nach Prag und Berlin. Er komponierte Quartette und Sinfonien und entwickelte seinen eigenen Stil. Noch bevor er 30 Jahre alt wurde, zeigte sich eine Krankheit bei ihm: Er verlor langsam sein Gehör. Für einen Musiker natürlich das Schlimmste, was passieren kann. Er dachte an Selbstmord, wurde dann aber so kreativ wie nie zuvor: Er komponierte wie ein Besessener. 1812 traf Beethoven mit seinen damals 42 Jahren den 63-jährigen Johann Wolfgang Goethe. Beethoven war kein einfacher Mensch, es gab oft Streit mit ihm. Künstlerisch aber war er ein Genie. Trotz seiner Taubheit komponierte er weiter. Er starb 1827 als Junggeselle - verheiratet war er nie, und soweit bekannt ist hatte er auch keine Kinder. Text der Episode als PDF: https://slowgerman.com/folgen/sg165kurz.pdf

Das Jahr 1799: Joseph Haydn, der "Vater des Streichquartetts", schließt für sich langsam mit dieser Gattung ab. Seine beiden Quartette op. 77 sind aber keineswegs ein Abgesang: In ihnen weist Haydn auch in die Zukunft. Barbara Doll hat mit Loïc Rio vom Quatuor Modigliani über das Werk gesprochen.
