... you can't even hear the original quartet,
so beautiful is the arrangement." Three famous musicians associated with this: one, the composer of the original quartet, one the arranger and the third, who made this statement, was the conductor at the premiere. Who are they, and what was the quartet? Answer Otto Klemperer talking about Schoenberg's orchestration of the Brahms op. 25 piano quartet. |
