String quartet No. 2, a major, op. 90

Streichquartett Nr. 2, A-Dur, op. 90

Critical edition from the author’s autograph score

... from the preface of the new edition:
 The first movement of the String Quartet No. 2 in A major, Op. 90, develops various main and secondary ideas, among which the lyrical theme already delighted contemporaries. “Quickly, but calmly,” is the multi-layered performance instruction, in which the urgent and inhibiting features of the movement resonate in equal measure.

... aus dem Vorwort der Neuausgabe:
Der Kopfsatz des Streichquartett Nr. 2 A-Dur op. 90 entfaltet verschiedene Haupt- und Nebengedanken, unter denen das lyrische Thema schon die Zeitgenossen beglückte. „Rasch, jedoch ruhig“, so lautet die mehrschichtige Vortragsanweisung, in welcher die drängenden und hemmenden Züge des Satzes gleichermaßen anklingen.
