Question
As part of a promised cycle in all 24 keys, this ensemble premiered a short piece dedicated to Nina Varzar’s memory and one whose titles “Calm ignorance of future cataclysm” and “The eternal question” the composer retracted. At a sold-out premiere, this ensemble encored a 5-movement C minor quartet that quotes the hymn “Tormented by Harsh Captivity.” A composer refused to dedicate a 15th piece to this ensemble after each of its members died following 4 prior dedications and its younger Shirinsky brother died in rehearsal, so the (*) Taneyev Quartet premiered its 6 adagio movements instead. For a 200-year anniversary, this quartet led by Dmitri Tsyganov recorded its namesake’s complete quartets on 8 Melodiya discs. Shostakovich premiered his Piano Quintet with this ensemble, and while he consulted the Borodin Quartet for advice, this ensemble premiered 13 of his 15 string quartets. For 10 points, what ensemble recorded all 16 quartets by its namesake, including the Grosse Fuge? ■END■
