Description:Mozart verwendete die Tonart C-Dur häufig, wenn es ihm um eine besonders reichhaltige harmonische Palette ging. Ein Höhepunkt seiner Kompositionen in C ist das sogenannte â??Dissonanzenquartettâ??, dessen langsame Einleitung die Kunst des chromatischen Vorhalts, das Changieren zwischen Dur und Moll ins Extrem treibt. Gestrenge Zeitgenossen nahmen daran AnstoĂ?, worauf der Beinamen zurĂĽckzufĂĽhren ist. Das Armida Quartett kombiniert dieses sechste der â??dem lieben Haydnâ?? gewidmeten Quartette aus den frĂĽhen 1780er-Jahren mit drei der zehn Jahre frĂĽher entstandenen sogenannten Mailänder Quartette. - .. VOL. 4
"The Armida Quartet endeavors to find dissonances lying like sleeping metaphors on the seabed of Mozart's music, in order to bring them to the surface and back to life - yet without making them too obvious. In so doing, the musicians commit themselves to follow the original sources, which they are intensely studying in collaboration with expert musicological counsel. But they are also committed to their chosen name, "Armida", which evokes a widespread opera subject stemming from Torquato Tasso's epic poem Gerusalemme liberata ("Jerusalem Delivered").In that well-known story, Armida stands for what we would call cognitive dissonance. The Christian knight from the West and the pagan beauty from the East are fascinated with one another and fall in love. Despite her infatuation, however, Armida must surely also be an evil sorceress, since she is distracting Rinaldo, the crusader, from his holy mission of war. Armida's final submission is sealed once and for all with a battle victory and a baptism: this is obviously a Western projection we need to view with a greater deal of nuance. With it's apparently irresolvable dissonance arising from contradictory feelings, the fear caused by the seductive outer appearance of beauty, and the ostensibly unappealable validity of cultural norms, the fictional Armida material is a true aesthetic and cultural litmus test...
