How Shostakovich Wrote His String Quartet No. 8, Part 1: Movement 1 (Composition Analysis)
Transcription
Structure
It consists of four movements:
- Allegretto
- Moderato con moto
- Lento (attacca)
- Lento — Allegretto
Playing time is approximately 22 minutes.
The Allegretto first movement creates a carefree mood using nursery tunes.[citation needed] The second movement is a cheerful round dance in E♭ major, the third movement a chaconne in B♭ minor. The final movement leads into a complex Allegretto showing the influence of both Alban Berg's Lyric Suite and Richard Strauss's Metamorphosen.[citation needed][further explanation needed] The quartet also features the only vertical appearance of the DSCH motif (the notes D, E♭, C, and B♮ played at the same time). This happens at the cadence at the end of each movement.
The quartet was written in Komarovo, Russia.
