Alexander Glazunov - Five Novelettes Op. 15 (1886) for String Quartet

Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov (Алекса́ндр Константи́нович Глазуно́в, 10 August 1865 – 21 March 1936) was a Russian composer, music teacher, and conductor of the late Russian Romantic period. He served as director of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory between 1905 and 1928 and was instrumental in the reorganization of the institute into the Petrograd Conservatory, then the Leningrad Conservatory, following the Bolshevik Revolution. He continued heading the Conservatory until 1930, though he had left the Soviet Union in 1928 and did not return.The best-known student under his tenure during the early Soviet years was Dmitri Shostakovich.

Allegretto (19:51) Shostakovich Quartet Details by Edition Silvertrust: Glazunov wrote the Five Novelettes during the mid 1880s, originally giving them the invocative title of `Suite'. At the suggestion of his friend Hans von Bulow, the famous pianist and conductor, Glazunov changed the name to Novelettes. The first of the pieces, Alla spagnuola (in the Spanish style) opens with plucked notes of the cello, in accompaniment to the first melody, with its characteristic Spanish rhythm. The trio section wanders away from Spain altogether and one hears the voice of Borodin. An Orientale follows. It, too, starts with the plucked accompanying notes of the cello, to which the viola adds cross-rhythms, while the violins bring forth a dancing theme over a bagpipe like drone. In the middle section, the highly evocative viola solo conjures up the bazaars and market places of central asia. The third movement, Interludium in modo antico has distinct allusions to the Russian Orthodox service, both in its tonality and the solemn mood. Next comes a Valse (Waltz), which provides considerable contrast. The characteristic accompanying rhythm is first established by the cello and viola. Within the waltz, contrast is created by changes of key and mood and the creatiion of increasing excitement before the recapitulation. The last of the Novelettes, Alla ungherese (in the Hungarian style), again begins with pizzicato in the cello which provides the opening rhythm. Against this, the first violin states the first Hungarian theme. There is a contrasting central section, Andantino sostenuto, Capriccioso, strongly suggestive of the mode of violin playing by gypsies.
