The relationship between Ludwig van Beethoven’s op. 132 string quartet and Luigi Nono’s Fragmente – Stille, an Diotima spans 155 years while sharing several conceptual dimensions – among them, their respective composers’ intense idealism in the pursuit of art as a transformational, unifying experience; their utopian visions of political and social justice; and the struggle to translate a profound personal expression into a consequential public reality.
