MOZART Quartet No. 16 in E-flat Major, K. 428 BERG Quartet, Op. 3
SCHUBERT Quartet No. 15 in G Major, D. 887 Violinist Christian
Tetzlaff returns for a rare appearance with his namesake string
quartet—making its eagerly anticipated Cal Performances debut—in a
program of three landmark works that showcase the ensemble's vast
expressive range. Mozart's series of string quartets dedicated to
Haydn are the pinnacle of melodic ingenuity and classical refinement;
nearly 50 years later, Schubert wrote his massive and mercurial final
quartet, just a few years before his death in 1828. Written in 1910,
Berg's complex and technically demanding Quartet became a seminal work
of the Second Viennese School.
