As first violinist of the renowned Takacs Quartet, Edward Dusinberre has had to grapple like few others with the enigmatic quality of Beethoven s quartets, which have long been the backbone of the Takacs repertory. In his book, he offers a compelling investigation into the nature of the quartets by focusing on a selection of works taken from the different chronological periods and stylistic groupings. This is cleverly intertwined with the historical narrative of Beethoven s engagement with the composition and performance of the quartets between 1798 and 1826, as well as the autobiographical narrative of the Takacs s own engagement with the works for over two decades since Dusinberre s arrival in 1993 (or four decades from the group s original founding in 1975). In the always insightful and often hilarious memoir passages, the author treats us to a new understanding of the crafting of a musical performance, from the first group rehearsals to the resulting concert or recording session. To this, he adds vivid and brilliant descriptions of the music that jump out at the non-specialist reader. "
