The ''Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra'' in B-flat is a work by the Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg, freely composed after the ''Concerto Grosso'' Op. 6, No. 7 by George Frideric Handel. The work is divided into four movements: # Largo - Allegro # Largo # Allegretto grazioso # Hornpipe ==Circumstances== The Concerto was written in the summer of 1933. In May of that year Schoenberg had been forced to flee Berlin after the accession of the Nazi Party. He first went to Paris (where he reconverted from Lutheranism to the Judaism of his childhood). He spent the summer of 1933 with his wife and infant daughter in the French town of Arcachon, a seaside resort near Bordeaux, completing the Concerto there before leaving for permanent residence in America in October. The work was first performed on September 26, 1934 in Prague with the Kolisch Quartet as soloists. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra (Schoenberg)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
