[String Quartets] Capet Quartet. (1893-1928)

Two Original Concert Programs

Stern. Original concert programs from two all-Beethoven performances of the leading French quartet, on June 28 and July 1, 1912. Taking place at the Eglise du Gesù (now known as the Eglise St-Ignace) in Paris and organized by the Société des Grandes Auditions Musicales de France, the concerts consisted of Beethoven's quartets nos. 8, 13, 15, and 16. The larger of the two programs features an attractive engraving of the interior of the church at the upper left. Each 1 p. Some light foxing and mounting remnants on the verso of the smaller program; otherwise in fine condition. 5 x 7.25 inches (12.4 x 18.5 cm) and 6.75 x 9.75 inches (16.8 x 24.8 cm).

By the time of this program, the formation of the Capet Quartet had solidified into the one known in later recordings: Lucien Capet, Maurice Hewitt, Henri Benoît, and Camille Delobelle. (13873)
