In the four years since it was founded in 2012, the Kruppa String Quartet has amassed an impressive performance history, excellent competition results and having improved its abilities during several prestigious international courses. The ensemble will appear for the Müpa Budapest audience with a tastefully selected programme.
Having grown up around get-togethers of the family quartet, Schubert composed his string quartet movement in 1820. Although no further movements were ever written, t...he manuscript finally found its way into the hands of Brahms and was premièred in Vienna some 40 years after the composer's death.
Bartók's String Quartet No. 4 was completed in 1928 and first heard in Budapest during a performance by the Waldbauer-Kerpely Quartet. The piece, despite a succession of decidedly unusual technical turns, was a huge success, with the composer being invited on the stage after every movement by thunderous applause.
The majority of Bach's organ works was written in Weimar, among them the fugue comprising 130 contrapuntal bars and the famous fantasy that introduces it. The piece exists in several arrangements (for instance, the orchestral version was arranged by Elgar and Richard Strauss) and is also firm favourite among string quartets.
