This provided the stimulus for his first string quartet. The work was inspired by Tolstoy's Kreutzer Sonata (which he had written influenced by Beethovens famous violin sonata). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJanáček had also read Tolstoy's story earlier in the original Russian and already at that time it had inspired him to compose a piano trio in 1907 which was later lost. Janáček's string quartet is a masterwork by the almost 70-year-old composer. The work sparked a creative impulse which continued with the composition of the second string quartet Intimate Letters in the last years of the composers life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bärenreiter","offers":[{"title":"Set of Parts","offer_id":20702246406,"sku":"BA9520","price":26.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Study Score","offer_id":20702280390,"sku":"TP520","price":24.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/0bb4625b6a5b5ae8f8f604685d988867.jpg?v=1780349055"},{"product_id":"janacek-string-quartet-no-1-universal","title":"Janáček: String Quartet No. 1","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/leos-janacek\"\u003eLeoš Janáček (1854-1928)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Study Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eString Quartet (Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello)\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/janacek-string-quartet-no-1-kreutzer-sonata-jw-vii8\"\u003eString Quartet No. 1 (\"Kreutzer Sonata\"), JW VII\/8\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISMN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9790008019173\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e5.3\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e7.3\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 56\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaking its impulse from the composer's earlier piano\ntrio on the subject (now lost), \u003cstrong\u003eJanáček\u003c\/strong\u003e\ncomposed with Tolstoy's bitter tragedy _The\nKreutzer Sonata _in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe novella tells of an adulterous woman and the\nhomicidal reaction of her husband.
