EVA CATTANEO (soprano)
THE VIRTUOSO STRING
QUARTET:
Marjorie Hayward (violin) ; Edwin Virgo (violin) ; Raymond Jeremy (viola) ; Cedric Sharpe (violoncello) Fifty-five years old, director of the Milan Conservatoire and friend of the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, Ildebrando Pizzetti is perhaps the most distinguished living Italian composer. In his own country he enjoys a great reputation as composer, critic, and teacher ; both conservatives and modernists respect him. And when you get to know his music you understand why. Pizzetti has been aptly described as ' an enlightened and liberal conservative '. His melodies are in the true Italian tradition, warm, spontaneous, and singable ; his harmony bright and lucid, hardly more modern than Puccini's, but he never avoids bold dissonances if he wants to use them for a particular effect. The first two movements of Ethel
Smyth's String Quartet in E minor were written in 1902, but were put aside until nine years later, when the composer was commissioned to write a chamber work for the first concert of the new Society of Women Musicians. Another two movements were added and the complete Quartet was given its first performance by the London String Quartet. The last movement, an excellent fugue on a very terse and rhythmic subject, is particularly attractive.
