Composer / Author: Smetana, Bedrich
The second string quartet from 1883 is Smetana's last chamber music work. Unlike the first quartet, there is no programmatic explanation from the composer regarding this work. However, this quartet can also be considered a personal confession, as evidenced by numerous letters from Smetana. He wrote about the first movement: “I have doubts about the form of this movement. It has a very unusual form and is difficult to understand. A form of collapse dominates the entire movement and it seems that it will cause extreme difficulty for the performers. This is a result of my unhappy life.”
The quartet elicited mixed reactions – the unusual character of the entire composition, its brevity, discontinuity, and density were considered by Smetana's admirers for a long time as a sign of an incomplete work.
