Presents
Sir Arthur Sullivan
Romance for String Quartet
One does not
generally associate the words string quartet with Sir Arthur Sullivan
(1842-1900). He did however compose two short pieces for this ensemble. Both
were written in 1859 while Sullivan was studying under Moscheles at the Leipzig
Conservatory. Sullivan was the Royal Academy of Music’s first Mendelssohn
Scholar and at one time regarded as a very promising classical composer. The
Romance in g minor shows the influence of Mendelssohn and is in the mood and
style of a Mendelssohnian intermezzo. It is a lovely morsel which would make a
charming encore.
