Work & Edition Details
Hensels String Quartet in E flat major (1834) is a somewhat unconventional work. The opening movement eschews sonata form. Instead two main themes are developed in a fantasia in which nonthematic material is interwoven with the two themes. It is a movement of great forward drive, and that drive is continued in the second movement scherzo inspired by Paganini’s Bell Rondo from his Violin Concerto No. 2, which Mendelssohn-Hensel heard in 1829. The third movement is perhaps the most remarkable, dominated by repeated tones and falling motifs. The feeling of resignation is palpable. The quartet concludes with an energetic finale, which regains the drive of the opening movements. With its inventiveness and lyrical grace, Hensel’s quartet is the equal of any of her brother’s, which is to say that it stands with the best of its time.
