Further Information
‘The best virtuosi vie with one another in their desire to play it’, said Beethoven of his Op. 127– the first of his five late quartets written within the last three years of his life. The 61-year-old Haydn dedicated his Op. 71 quartets in 1793 to Count Anton Georg Apponyi, who two years later tried – unsuccessfully – to persuade the 24-year-old Beethoven to write his first string quartet.Mayfield Valley Arts Trust is proud to support young artists at Wigmore Hall
