Louis Spohr was a highly regarded composer in the 19th century and has fallen into undeserved obscurity. If you want to learn more about him, I have a pile of tagged posts about him: garymcgath.com/wp/tag/spohr/

Continuing my series on Spohr's string quartets. This post covers quartets 20-30.

Spohr's 25th string quartet does stuff with meter that's ahead of its time. The time signature is "4/8 3/8." At first the two alternate, effectively giving 7/8, but then he starts mixing them up. Stravinsky wasn't even born till more than half a century later. #classicalMusic #spohr
Never let it be said Spohr didn't have surprises up his sleeve. His 23rd string quartet is nominally in E major, but it starts with a C major chord and ends in the Phrygian Dominant mode (aka the Spanish scale) on E.

Postage stamp with head of Louis Spohr and text "Louis Spohr / 22 • x • 1859 / 15 / Deutsche Bundespost"
A 1959 German postage stamp depicting Louis Spohr 100 years after his death. The denomination is 15 pfennigs, right?

All three of Spohr's Opus 74 quartets depict a loss of energy at the end. In No. 2, the quartet appears to end triumphantly, then he brutally tears the impression down. I wonder why. #classicalMusic #Spohr
Here's my second post in a series that will cover all of Spohr's string quartets. This one is on quartets 11-19, some of which are really good. garymcgath.com/wp/spohrs-st...

Spohr's 16th quartet uses a trick I haven't seen before. The 2nd movement is a theme and two variations in F. Then the scherzo, in A, is the next variation! It's followed by one more variation in F at the original tempo. #classicalMusic #Spohr
Continuing my journey through Spohr's string quartets. The slow movement of Opus 58, No. 1 is the biggest reward so far. youtu.be/EW5dcnecqBc?... #Spohr
An oddity in the Spohr catalog: No one seems to know what Opus 14, 18, and 19 were. Are they lost works? Did the publisher skip numbers? #Spohr
Continuing my Spohr quartet tour: The Opus 11 quartet (called "Quator Brillant") is an advance in some ways over his first two, but the 2nd violin, viola, and cello are relegated to accompaniment parts while the 1st violin does fancy stuff. #Spohr
The slow movement of Spohr's string quartet Op. 4 No. 2 is definitely worth listening to, with nice dialogue between the 1st violin and cello. Skip the scherzo, though. #Spohr
Starting on a project to listen to all the Spohr quartets, which will take at least a month. I'm not planning to post about each one, but I'll say that Opus 4, No. 1 has its merits for an early work, especially in the 1st movement. #Spohr
Spohr's 7th Symphony is based on some original ideas. It's effectively a concerto grosso, and its structure is unusual, with the last movement starting Presto and going to Adagio. garymcgath.com/wp/spohrs-se...

If you asked the music lovers of 1810 Vienna who they would list as a composer for the ages, a name that would certainly have been there was Ludwig. No not that one, Ludwig Spohr. Looking at the carnage from the creation of The Canon, he was a major casualty!🤠
Man kann sich nur immer wieder an den Kopf fassen, was Konzernbosse - wie hier wieder Carsten #Spohr von der #Lufthansa - für einen entsetzlich verbalen Dünnschiss von sich geben!
Dank #Trump keine Rücksicht mehr auf Umwelt- und Klimaschutz! Wie geil für den Profit!

Perfect Sunday morning music for me: Louis #Spohr's nonet. Also happens to match the instrument distribution we normally have at #Cowley Orchestra - if I pretend to be a double bass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbzvjX1JE30 #ChamberMusic
