Luigi Cherubini – String Quartet 전곡 모음[No.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 외]

Luigi Cherubini as member of the Institut Royal de France, Académie des Beaux-Arts, c. 1820.

 

(8 or 14 September[1] 1760 – 15 March 1842) was an Italian Classical and Romantic[2][3] composer. His most significant compositions are operas and sacred music. Beethoven regarded Cherubini as the greatest of his contemporaries. His operas were heavily praised and interpreted by Rossini.

Although chamber music does not make up a large portion of his output, what he did write was important. Wilhelm Altmann, writing in his Handbuch für Streichquartettspieler (Handbook for String Quartet Players) about Cherubini's six string quartets, stated that they are first rate and regarded Nos. 1 and 3 as masterworks.

[His String Quintet for two violins, viola and two cellos is also considered a first-rate work.]

 

Cherubini's personal irritability among his contemporaries; Adolphe Adam wrote, "some maintain his temper was very even, because he was always angry." Nevertheless, Cherubini had many friends, including Szymanowska, Rossini, Chopin and, above all, the artist Ingres. The two had mutual interests: Cherubini was a keen amateur painter and Ingres enjoyed practising the violin.

 

In 1841, Ingres produced the most celebrated portrait of the old composer.

The crowning Muse displeased Cherubini and is blacked out in some copies.
