String Quartet in G minor, op. 10, is Claude Debussy’s only work with a formal academic name or opus number. This quartet, written in four movements and with a cyclical structure, represents the cultural battle between the musical establishment’s ideas of order and the idea of overcoming tonality to reach new worlds that was taking place in France at the time.

Program

The world premiere of Luis Codera Puzo’s work, written for traditional string quartet ensemble, is a great opportunity to link tradition to new concepts and dimensions of what does or does not constitute artistic creation. Finally, Béla Bartók’s Quartet No. 1, which consists of three movements performed without interruption, is greatly influenced by Beethoven’s last quartets and Bartók’s passion for Eastern European popular music.
