Talk:Léner Quartet

Untitled

Though the New York performing Arts Library material has not been placed online by the Library, a helpful catalogue is there courtesy of a society in Huddersfield, UK. From it, and the helpful note provided on the post, it would appear that the Quartet split acrimoniously in 1942, apparently because, though usually run by majority vote, Lener had accepted a contract for a Beethoven cycle in Mexico without consulting the others, and was demanding they rehearse for it for six weeks. The result was that Lener himself withdrew, seeking to assert his sole right to the quartet's name, and the others appointed a new leader for the Mexico cycle. Lener himself appointed three new players and for a time there were TWO quartets in the USA purporting to be the Lener Quartet, a situation which persisted until 1947 or 48. It's not clear which of the players mentioned in the article joined which 'Lener Quartet'. Revision would seem to be required.Delahays (talk) 14:11, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

A small point about the discography. There was more than one recording of the late Beethoven A minor Quartet Op 132, which the Lener Quartet seems to have been the first to record. The unlisted one, a very early electric recording, seems to have been the one listened to by the characters of Aldous Huxley's 'Point Counterpoint' since at the time the book was written it was the only one available86.165.154.123 (talk) 09:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
