Beethovenfest Bonn 2021
No poet could resist the silvery glow of the earth’s satellite, still less any composer. It transforms the shape of our world. ‘Moonlight’ is a romantic theme par excellence. It was made to order for the new subjectivity of experience that emerged around the year 1800 and led, in the course of the 19th century, to ever-deeper probes of pleasure and pain in feeling and orchestral colour.
It’s a touching thought: a clarinet-playing friend orders a piece that must resemble Beethoven’s famous Septet as closely as possible.
The result is one of Schubert’s most personal creations. For a full hour it ushers the listener into a world that avoids the ingratiating tone of a serenade and reaches symphonic heights, while granting space in the slow movement to a miraculous set of variations on a tune reminiscent of a singspiel ditty. Given such abundance, the Auryn Quartet has chosen lighter companion pieces in the form of two serenades, one by Beethoven, and another by Max Reger scored for trio and flute, thereby dispensing with a fundamental bass part.
