Mozart’s String Quartet No. 15 in D minor will be featured. Among the numerous works written by W.A. Mozart for chamber ensembles, string quartets enjoy special recognition. String quartet No. 15 in D minor, notable for its distinct dramatic character and expressiveness, is the second (and most popular) of six quartets dedicated to the author’s older friend – outstanding composer J. Haydn. These opuses are among the most famous works of the Austrian classic. They have become known as fundamental in their genre and are often featured at concerts, in radio programs and recordings.The musicians will perform H. Wolf’s Italian Serenade, W17/2. This is a vivid example of the romantic composer’s distinctive style and evidence of the versatility of his talent. The instrumental miniature is interpreted as a program dramatic scene, in which there is a declaration of love between two characters: a daring male and a flirty female. The composition wins over the listeners with an abundance of ardent dance themes, expressive instrumental recitations of the solo cello, as well as the scenic clarity of the characters, their behavior, dynamically expressed psychological state, which includes unaffected tenderness, passion and cunning.D. Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 5 in B-flat major, op. 92 will be presented to the attention of the residents and guests of the capital.

The music begins to get more and more passionate until a tender lyrical melody erupts, then considerable tension and drama are raised, culminating in a peaceful closing. In his work, D. Shostakovich alludes to personal matters. Perhaps this explains the intense agitation expressed in thrilling counterpoint in the quartet’s first movement.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/tsm/press/news/details/20539?lang=kk
