Beethoven on his last quartet (Op. 135):
“Here, my dear friend, is my last quartet. It will be the last; and indeed it has given me much trouble. For I could not bring myself to compose the last movement. But as your letters were reminding me of it, in the end I decided to compose it. And that is reason why I have written the motto: ‘The difficult decision – Must it be? – It must be, it must be!'”

String thing
Edmonton’s own Enterprise Quartet (guillaume.tardif.com/enterprise/home.html) brings the beauty of string music to anyone who’s interested in listening with its free public concerts. Its fall series begins Sunday at the Robertson-Wesley United Church, and continues with a pair of mid-week performances at City Hall. The quartet is about as good as it gets: the musicians are a combination of University of Alberta faculty and members of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.
This season, the group’s focus is set on Mozart’s 1733 quartets and Beethoven’s late quartets.
When: Sunday, Sept. 9, 2 p.m.; Tuesday, Sept. 11, noon and 7:30 p.m.
Where: Sunday, Robertson-Wesley United Church, 10209 123rd St.; Tuesday, City Hall.
Admission: Free.
