The first two piano quartets, Op. 25 and 26, open an enormously successful series of chamber instrumental works of the composer, who had reached the time of his creative maturity. They produce the real storm in the professional and amateurs circles (H. Reimann). It happened in 1863, when Brahms was at the age of thirty, soon after they had been printed, - but the first sketches of the both quartets (as well as of the third one, edited only in 1873) belong to mid-1850’s, when Brahms was a young man, and the mood, dominating this music, is connected with his youth impressions, when the awe and humor, nonchalance and despair are equally represented and absorbed by the burning, outburst temperament of the young genius. The scrupulous work with the material, brilliant feeling of the form, phrasing and instrumental balance show, that it’s no music by a beginner, but an outstanding master. |
