BEETHOVEN'S STRING QUARTETS

Third Programme
on Third Programme

Quartet in. F arranged from Piano Sonata in E. Op. 14 No.
Quartet in D, Op. 18 No. 3 played by the Aeolian String Quartet
Sydney Humphreys (violin) Robert Cooper (violin) Watson Forbes (viola) Derek Simpson (cello)
Heard in their proper order, Beethoven's string quartets (unlike, say, Mozart's) can be experienced as one work-an unprecedented, unequalled development of intimate symphonic thought. Tonight's programme is the first in this complete
- series: the next will be broadcast on October 9.
