The Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg published four string quartets, distributed over his lifetime. These were the String Quartet No. 1 in D minor, Op. 7 (1905), String Quartet No. 2 in F sharp minor, Op. 10 (1908), String Quartet No. 3, Op. 30 (1927), and the String Quartet No. 4, Op. 37 (1936). In addition to these, he wrote several other works for string quartet which were not published. The most notable was his early String Quartet in D major (1897). There was also a Presto in C major (ca. 1895),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arnold Schoenberg - Catalogue of Works - Compositions - Presto fuer Streichquartett ), now at http://www.schoenberg.at/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=256&Itemid=431&lang=de〕 a Scherzo in F major (1897),〔(Arnold Schoenberg - Catalogue of Works - Compositions - Scherzo fuer Streichquartett ), now at http://www.schoenberg.at/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=261&Itemid=436&lang=de.〕 and later a Four-part Mirror Canon in A major (ca. 1933).〔(Arnold Schoenberg - Catalogue of Works - Compositions - Vierstimmiger Spiegelkanon für Streichquartett (a major) )〕 Finally, several string quartets exist in fragmentary form. These include String Quartet in F major (before 1897), String Quartet in D minor (1904), String Quartet in C major (after 1904), String Quartet Movement (1926), String Quartet (1926), String Quartet in C major (after 1927) and String Quartet No. 5 (1949). Schoenberg also wrote a Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra in B-flat major (1933): an arrangement of a work by the Baroque composer George Frideric Handel. == String Quartet in D major == This string quartet in four movements is Schoenberg's earliest extant work of large scale: average duration of recorded performances is about 27 minutes. Completed in 1897, it was premiered privately on March 17, 1898, and publicly later that same year on December 20 in Vienna. It was published posthumously in 1966 (Faber Music, London). Schoenberg's friend Alexander von Zemlinsky gave him much advice and criticism during the composition of this work. Zemlinsky even showed an early draft of it to Johannes Brahms, whom Schoenberg very much admired. It was given the old master's approval. # Allegro molto # Intermezzo (Andantino grazioso) # Theme and Variations (Andante con moto) # Allegro The original second movement was the Scherzo in F which now exists as a separate piece. Schoenberg substituted the Intermezzo at Zemlinsky's suggestion. 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 Quartets (Schoenberg)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
