The czech famous string quartets
Krejbich, Tomáš ; PĚRUŠKA, Jan (advisor) ; UNTERMŰLLER, Karel (referee)
The creator of this thesis took these few sentences to reveal and explain why he chose his topic of string quartets for this work. There is some policy at czech conservatories, that the students must take up the the lessons of chamber music when entering the fourth or fifth grade (out of six), causing they sort of ?smell? the scent of the chamber music greatness but it is too late for them to truly master the subject, beacuse it is a long-term thing to do if you want to do it right. Of course they can extend their chamber music knowledge later on ? or they might want to meet that greatness even earlier at the conservatory. The author is one of those exceptions. He started to share his free time with the chamber music when he was in the second grade at the conservatory and it absorbed him entirely. Yes, he has played some trios, quintets and others so far, but the quartet is what gives him pure joy and he considers it the most perfect set of string instruments among others. Not too much of this, not too little of that. And maybe that is why so many people in the past devoted their time of even life to the quartet. And many more continue today. These inspire him every day in what he does, therefore he decided to know more about them and share it with you.
