About this Item
- Title
- Op. 130 & the Grosse Fugue: Expressive Markings in Beethoven's Manuscript
- Summary
- Violinist Nicholas Kitchen of the Borromeo String Quartet offers an in-depth discussion of Beethoven's op. 130 string quartet and the Grosse Fugue, referencing many other works of Beethoven along the way. Kitchen pays special attention to the graduated range of Beethoven's expressive markings, learned from intensive study of Beethoven's manuscripts and the practice of performing the music from the manuscripts. He uses primary sources to buttress his argument that Beethoven consistently used tiered dynamics, special articulations and other markings in order to differentiate expression across a broader spectrum than what we may find in published editions.
