The Jerusalem Quartet, founded in 1996, dedicates the first concert in this season's “String Quartet International” series to Haydn's first “Prussian Quartet”, which the composer wrote for the cello-playing King Frederick William II of Prussia, and Mozart's “Dissonance Quartet”, whose unusual harmonies shocked contemporary audiences. After the intermission, the Jerusalem Quartet proves that there is more than just Dvořák's famous melodious “American” String Quartet No. 12: after his second return from the New World, the composer initially had a kind of composer's block and was unable to continue what he had begun. He overcame it working on String Quartet No. 13.
