Portrait of the composer

The Rondo in C minor (WAB deest) is a composition for string quartet by the Austrian composer Anton Bruckner.

History

Bruckner composed his String Quartet in 1862 as an exercise for his teacher Otto Kitzler. When Kitzler remarked that that piece's final rondo movement could have been more developed, Bruckner responded by creating this new rondo, significantly different in musical content from that of the quartet and 40 measures longer. However, he did not intend it to replace the original.[1]

The piece was premiered on 17 August 1984 in Vienna to celebrate Nowak's 80th anniversary.[2] An edited critical edition was first published in 1985.[3]

Music

The piece in C minor and 2/4 time is sparingly notated, with few indications of dynamic. Writing for AllMusic, Wayne Reisig remarks that the work's "overall fleet mood will bring to mind Mendelssohn".[1] Reviewer Richard Whitehouse notes that the Rondo's "less angular phrasing and the secondary theme's more expansive manner give the composer greater room to elaborate his material" than in the String Quartet's rondo. He also describes "a more fully developed central section, serving to place less emphasis on the themes at their reappearance" and a coda that "draws on more imitative means to less forceful ends".[4]
