The Josef Suk Piano Quartet produces 'moments of remarkable profundity' in Piano Quartets by Suk and Dvořák
For Josef Suk (1874-1935), his Piano Quartet was truly a landmark work. When Dvořák told the 16-year-old budding composer he had done a ‘good job’ with the second movement, Suk was inspired to try to measure up to the great man for the rest of his life.
