{"product_id":"string-quartet-no-5-score-parts","title":"String quartet no. 5 - Score \u0026 parts","description":"Kalevi Aho composed his 5th string quartet in autumn 2021 as a commission from the Kamus Quartet. It is dedicated to the memory of the German-Austrian musicologist Elke Albrecht, who died on 29.9.2021 at the age of only 40. Albrecht was one of the leading experts on Finnish opera; her doctoral thesis was about operas inspired by the Finnish national epic, The Kalevala, and shortly before she died, she was working on a second doctoral thesis, about Aho's concertos and concertante symphonies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe overall mood of the quartet is elegiac, and the basic material derives from the musical letters in Elke Albrecht's name: e-a-b(=b-flat)-re(=d)-c-h(=b). The finale is a dreamy, quick, virtuoso waltz. The build-ups are not resolved; at the end, the vital energy gradually expires. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMovements\u003cbr\u003eI Adagio - Vivacissimo\u003cbr\u003eII Moderato - Presto\u003cbr\u003eIII Larghetto\u003cbr\u003eIV Vivace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuration: 28'30''\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis product includes the full score (size A4) and the set of parts (size B4).","brand":"Fennica Gehrman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51545965822299,"sku":"9790550180147","price":47.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/string-quartet-no-5-score-parts","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
