Mosolov - String Quartet No. 1 in A minor- I Andante
Loading...
Uploaded by Hexameron on Apr 10, 2009
First "Andante" movement from the String Quartet No. 1 in A minor Op. 24 (1926)
Alexander Mosolov (1900-1973) was a part of the Soviet Avant-Garde prominent in the 1920s. He was oppressed by the RAPM (Russian Association of Proletarian Musicians) for writing inaccessible and highly pessimistic music; i.e., not conforming to Soviet Realism. By 1929 his compositions were banned and in 1936 he moved to Central Asia to collect folk music. From then until his death, Mosolov abandoned his earlier compositional style and wrote tame often folk-inspired works.

@RoniGlaser I have the same issue. I even tried (unsuccessfully) to get ahold of the the Novosibirsk "Filarmonica" String Quartet, though that was a while ago. Many of his piano pieces I've found, as well as a later folk piece for chorus, but no string music whatsoever.

Where can I get a copy of the score of this piece? I can't find one anywhere on the internet (that isn't in a YouTube video of course).

it's not impossible to remember at all...

Such a fantastic piece.

@Saxotillery well, with his use of chromatic and octatonic scales, it's hardly in a key at all haha
-
iron foundry is great, but this is definitely my favorite mosolov composition

I don't think this is supposed to be enjoyed in the traditional sense of the word, rather being provoked to listen to it till the bitter end. And it's almost impossible to remember.

@HIZUMIFACE It is indeed in A minor. At least, that's what Mosolov called it. Furthermore, Inna Barsova, a leading authority on the Soviet avant-garde and Mosolov in particular lists it as "Струнный квартет № 1 a-moll op. 24" in "A.V. Mosolov: Stat'i i vospominaniya" which was compiled by Mosolov's wife, Nina Meshko.
