KORNGOLD - 3 PIECES OP 11 STRING QUARTET

New incidental music was required for a performance of William Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado about Nothing in the Schonbrunn Schlosstheater in Vienna in 1920. Erich Wolfgang Korngold had already composed this music two years previously; he also conducted the premiere in May 1920. In January of the same year however, Korngold's entertaining suite also received its first performance and its catchy melodies have guaranteed its popularity up to the present day.
