LEZING ALFRED BRENDEL

In zijn eigen woorden: “For many years I have greatly enjoyed coaching string quartets, and above all dealing with the late string quartet music of Beethoven. What distinguished Beethovens lifestyle? To find a concise answer it seems indispensable to look at his late piano works that, next to the Piano/Cello Sonatas Op. 102 and the song cycle ‘An die ferne Geliebte’, inaugurated a new approach towards composition. I shall be glad to talk about these matters during the String Quartet Biennale in Amsterdam.”
