String Quartet

SKU: BT.SJQ19994

Composed by George Onslow. Classical. Set of Parts. S J Music #SJQ19994. Published by S J Music (BT.SJQ19994).

This String Quartet, along with other chamber works by Onslow, is worthy of serious study alongside works of other composers of the period such as Beethoven. It has a lively and tuneful first movement, a beautifultheme and variations (including a florid variation with an exciting part for 1st Violin), a pretty minuet and trio and a rousing final movement. All instruments have interesting parts.

George Onslow, an Anglo-Frenchcomposer, was born in Clermont-Ferrand in July 1784 and died there in October 1853. Three of his String Quintets and his Piano quintet are also published by SJ Music (Q1993-5, Q1991-1, Q1993-4 and Q2005-2).
