Beschreibung
Kalevi Aho composed his 5th string quartet in autumn 2021 as a commission from the Kamus Quartet. It is dedicated to the memory of the German-Austrian musicologist Elke Albrecht, who died on 29.9.2021 at the age of only 40. Albrecht was one of the leading experts on Finnish opera, her doctoral thesis was about operas inspired by the Finnish national epic, The Kalevala, and shortly before she died, she was working on a second doctoral thesis, about Aho's concertos and concertante symphonies. The overall mood of the quartet is elegiac, and the basic material derives from the musical letters in Elke Albrecht's name: e-a-b(=b-flat)-re(=d)-c-h(=b). The finale is a dreamy, quick, virtuoso waltz. The build-ups are not resolved, at the end, the vital energy gradually expires.
