The Cavatina (short aria) is the heart and soul of Op.130, and one of Beethoven’s most deeply personal and intimate slow movements. The music is profoundly simple and pure, revealing with the utmost clarity Beethoven’s sense of humanity, and perhaps, his depiction of the fragility of life. Karl Holz, who was the second violinist of the Schuppanzigh Quartet, reported that Beethoven “wrote the Cavatina amid sorrow and tears; never did his music breathe so heartfelt an inspiration, and even the memory of this movement brought tears to his eyes.” The centerpiece of the music is a recitative section marked “beklemmt” (“oppressed”), where the anguished solo in the first violin wanders above the unrelenting procession in the accompanying instruments. Just as the music seems like it may be literally torn apart by the meandering violin solo, the instruments come back together for one last murmured statement of the Cavatina theme.
(Kurt Baldwin)
Composed in 1826, transcribed circa 1870.
