It was these letters between himself and Kamila that Janacek enshrined in his Intimate Letters Quartet, which is at the heart of the Emerson Quartet's second concert in this series. So passionate were Janacek's feelings that he said the work had been written 'in fire', whereas earlier pieces were 'written only in hot ash.' The work is heard alongside two of Dvorak's Late Quartets, in the last of which Dvorak anticipates Janacek's style with his innovative approach to rhythm. book tickets
