Tokyo string quartet broke up
The biggest news for me is that Tokyo string quartet was broke up.
So today, I would explain about history about Tokyo string quartet.
The Tokyo string quartet were start in 1969. My teacher’s
Koichiro Harada was one of the original members.
After the one years of starting, they won Munich international
competition 1970 that is first time for Japanese winner. However, members
changed 2 to 3 times.
Tokyo strings quartet was based in New York city, started by four
Japanese member, but There were non-Japanese members.
They were using Paganini quartet that is which is a set of string
instruments (two violins one viola one cello.) made by the most famous violin
maker Stradivarius.
Quartet is a group of four musicians it is most difficult genre of
Chamber music. String quartet means four string musicians.
The members got old and realized that it is getting too difficult
to tour around the world. I was so sad when I heard this news, because I like
to play the quartet, so I was respected this quartet, because this quartet is
really high level and had world recognition. I will miss the beautiful
harmony.
