In 1927, on the 100th anniversary of Beethoven's death, the French musicologist Saint-Foix drew attention to an anonymous manuscript collection of six string quartets that once belonged to the publisher Domenico (III) Artaria and is now in the Berlin State Library. He suspected that these were Beethoven's very first youthful attempts in this genre, which he only really established with Opus 18 in his early thirties. As a result, the collection was included in the Beethoven catalog, albeit as a work of dubious attribution, where it still awaits further research today. With the world premiere recording of the Six Quartets Anh. 2, the Alla Maniera Italiana Quartet brings this chamber music shrouded in mystery back to light - in a historically informed interpretation based on a precise study of the Berlin parts and making an original contribution to the forthcoming Beethoven bicentenary.
