Back in the 19th century, Wenzel's symphonies were played quite often, but his chamber music seems to have been neglected. This string quartet, however, with its charming melodic ideas, shows that he was an excellent composer of chamber music. R. Schumann even held him in great esteem !
Ist das eine reizende Musik, irgendwo zwischen Schubert und Dvorak. Kein absoluter Geniestreich, das ist klar, aber doch originelle und charmante Musik, die zu hören lohnt.
KuhlauDilfeng2, I don't know how you do it gathering such interesting composers. Since my subscription to your site on You Tube, or should one say Joy Tube, I discovered many interesting non-mainstream composers from 19th century. One should wish more people would subscribe! Thank you.
Kalliwoda was actually an excellent composer. nevertheless, his chamber music, when using traditional schemes, is rather conservative. Here, in the string quartet, he sues mainly the accompanied solo violin ' (sometimes cello, for expression variation) and, as s such, did not take in full account last Haydn and Mozart's innovations, not speaking of Beethoven. Nevertheless, his music is always full of distinction and inspired both melodically and harmonically. He should not be forgotten, and is one of thee past composers who have a présent modest and difficult rebirth, but nevertheless a rebirth. Perhaps at hat time, as a paradox, we g had too much geniuses who push in an unfair shadow more traditional but excellent composers. Even if you conniver Mendelssohn for instance, apart from rm the Italian symphony and his violin concerto, few of his high masterpieces such as for instance the oratorios o the Walpurgisnacht, or his last string quartet in f minor, or hs string quintets are actually well known.

Good comment
A fine piece that shows that Kalliwoda's music deserves to be far better known. Interesting pre-echos of Dvorak.
No dislikes that's what I like to see.

Sehr mit einverstanden. I do agree.

KuhlauCDilfeng2 you are a magician to find such a string quartet jewel, many thanks !
Confermo totalmente il giudizio di Ben Lindsay. Bellissimo!
Pleasant and diverting, but no more than that. Glad to have heard this.
Charming music - so happy to know of it - thanks!
Very nice and nicely performed.
Sweet stuff.... new to me
Loved this so much I bought it from Amazon immediately. Bravo!
Wow that is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing, I'd never heard of this composer before.
Another gem.

А bomb!
Very violin 1 centric, no?
It is kind of like a violin concerto with a three-person orchestra :-)
