Alweer zo’n briljante aflevering van de podcastserie Hilversumse Muziekschatten: Klassiek met swing! Met muziek van o.a. Hans Lachman en Karel Mengelberg

Today is the last day of my focus on the #StringQuartet by #DutchComposers. I end the week with a challenge, not a music video. In the archives of the #NederlandsMuziekInstituut I found this manuscript of a string quartet by Philip Vlessing, who was born in IJmuiden in 1906 and studied cello in Antwerp. He was killed by the Nazi's in 1943. The string quartet is dedicated to violinist Harry van der Lijn. Who wants to give it a try? Message me for the manuscript score!

There’s still time for a #StringQuartet by Robert de Roos, one of these unjustly forgotten #DutchComposers. This is his 6th quartet, performed by - again - the wonderful Utrecht String Quartet

Another #StringQuartet in the #DutchComposers series this week: Rosy Wertheim. She studied in Paris with Aubert, her string quartet (performed here by the Utrecht String Quartet) was written there in 1932. She became friends with French composer Elsa Barraine.

In this week’s focus on the #StringQuartet by #DutchComposers I give you Henriette Bosmans. In het days, she was considered very talented, but a little too Romantic for the critics’ taste. So she sought the advice of Willem Pijper, then the king of modernists is the Netherlands. Her string quartet is one of the results, she dedicated it to Pijper for his birthday
