The String Quartet No. 1 in F major, Op. 18, No. 1, was written by Ludwig van Beethoven between 1798 and 1800 and published in 1801. It is actually the second string quartet that Beethoven composed. The quartet consists of four movements: #Allegro con brio #Adagio affettuoso ed appassionato #Scherzo: Allegro molto #Allegro According to Beethoven's friend Karl Amenda, the second movement was inspired by the tomb scene from William Shakespeare's ''Romeo and Juliet''. The quartet was heavily revised between the version that Amenda first received and the one that was sent to the publisher a year later, including changing the second movement's marking from ''Adagio molto'' to the more specific ''Adagio affetuouso ed appassionato''. Of these modifications, Beethoven wrote: "Be sure not to hand on to anybody your quartet, in which I have made some drastic alterations. For only now have I learnt to write quartets; and this you will notice, I fancy, when you receive them."〔Winter & Martin, p. 151〕 The theme of the finale is almost directly borrowed from the finale of his earlier string trio, Op. 9, No. 3 in C minor; the themes are very closely related. The principal theme of the first movement echoes that of Haydn's Opus 50, No. 1 quartet. The "Amenda" manuscript, as it is sometimes known, was edited by Paul Mies and published by Bärenreiter around 1965, and by Henle-Verlag of Munich (perhaps also edited by Mies) in 1962.〔See , .〕 This early version of one of Beethoven's best-known works has been recorded perhaps less than a half-dozen times as of July 2014.〔The first movement by the Juilliard String Quartet in 2008- but before that, the premiere was given by the Pro Arte Quartet on a ''Laurel Records'' cassette/long-playing record in 1981 - (with notes by musicologist Lewis Lockwood.) ("Original version" in the title of that record should perhaps be recast as earliest ''surviving'' version.) There is another complete recording - listed as Hess 32 - here: , played by the Quartetto Paolo Borciani, released 2007; also by the Hagen Quartet on a Deutsche Grammophon set () ; 〕 ==Notes== 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「String Quartet No. 1 (Beethoven)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
