Intimate Letters & Love Songs
Intimate Letters & Love Songs
Wednesday, March 29, 2023—7:00pm
At Southfield Parks & Recreation
Janáček named his second string quartet "Intimate Letters," as it was inspired by his passionate obsession with a woman to whom he wrote over 700 letters; the work contains some of the composer's most ardent music. Paired with this piece are select movements from Dvořák’s quartet version of Cypresses, a collection of love songs that Dvořák composed at age 24, which were inspired by his unrequited love for his student Josefina Cermakova who later became his sister-in-law.
