Uncovering the musical heart of 19th-century Vienna
In short: Professor Chris Hogwood CBE explores the origins and impact of Schubert's 'Death and the Maiden' String Quartet, examining the social and economic forces that shaped chamber music in one of Europe's great musical capitals.
As part of the 'European Capitals of Music' series, this lecture investigates why Schubert's String Quartet No. 14 in D minor emerged in Vienna. The presentation looks beyond the notes to understand the venues, the performers, and the patrons who funded such works, questioning whether the music was considered a success in its time.
The lecture is part of a broader study of musical capitals, alongside explorations of 20th-century Paris, Baroque London, and the violin traditions of Rome.
