But how did they warm up the crowd? With a slice of insistent, lyrical Schubert.<\/p>\n<p>In December 1820, the 23-year-old Schubert began writing a new string quartet. He got through the opening Allegro and a few bars of the second movement, but that&#8217;s where it ended. Although it&#8217;s unfinished, the orphaned piece has led a successful life alone under the name Quartettsatz, or Movement for String Quartet. Consider it a musical IOU for the fully realized string quartets Schubert would write in his final years. Groups like the Tak\u00c3\u00a1cs find its combination of intensity and melody irresistible.<\/p>\n<p>Playing Bart\u00c3\u00b3k&#8217;s String Quartet No. 4 must be like revisiting an old friend for the Tak\u00c3\u00a1cs Quartet. The players, especially founding members K\u00c3\u00a1roly Schranz and Andr\u00c3\u00a1s Fej\u00c3\u00a9r, have kept all six of Bart\u00c3\u00b3k&#8217;s quartets active in their repertoire for decades.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can click on the link above and launch NPR&#8217;s music player from the post.<\/p>\n<p>This is obviously great PR for Savannah generally, in addition to the SMF specifically.<\/p>\n<div class=\"e26b170012445c56d240655bdd03f7bf\" data-index=\"4\" style=\"float: none; margin:4px 0 4px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-5595881567027133\";\r\n\/* Another large rectangle *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"0042810896\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NPR&#8217;s music blog Deceptive Cadence will be featuring classical concerts all week from the ongoing Savannah Music Festival.
