about

J. G. Christoph Schetky: Quartetto op.6 no.1 in E flat
I. Allegro
II. Largo non troppo
III. Allegretto
(Six Quartettos for two Violins, a Tenor, & Violoncello 1777)

If Schetky had had a more Scottish-sounding name, he would very likely have been immortalised in Burns’s song “Willie brew’d a peck o’ Maut” as he was a member of the drinking circle along with Willie (Nicol), Allan (Masterton), and Rob (Burns) himself. This is a useful lesson in how easy it can be to write immigrants out of history, consciously or not.

The first movement of this quartet made it onto our Late Night Sessions album, so this seemed like a good opportunity to let you hear the rest of the piece. As far as I know (in 2023), there are still no other recordings of Schetky’s quartets.
