it's that melody in the 3rd phrase

I just want to quickly mention how much I love this guy's composing style. He uses the cello the provide the third chord for the 1st violins at 0:08 which adds so much depth to the piece. Amazing.

About one hour ago, I was listening to this serenade on KUSC without to know who was the author. I was thinking it was from Antonin Dvorak. Then came the announcement: Joseph Suk! I went back on KZread to find a rendition and found this one. Reading the introduction, no surprise that Suk was a student of Dvorak. It seems to me that Suk use similar structures than Dvorack. Nevertheless, this serenade for strings is a very beautiful and touching piece of music largely deserving to be in the repertoire of today's orchestras.

suk is also the son in law of dvorak

It is our Czech composer, a very gentle and person with a pure soul and a great love for children and God..

Whenever I listen to the first movement it makes me cry about my own potential. I remember playing this in orchestra and it being some of the best times in my life. The first piece reminds me of losing and finding your potential, how it comes and goes. How you have it in your hands until it slips away. Until finally, you come to terms with who you are meant to be.

I completely understand how you feel, Helen. I performed for nearly 40 years as a symphony contra-bassist, but my career got cut short by a health problem. I sorely miss that, but I'm feeling better and have gotten back into playing my violin for Jesus, so there is some consolation and a sense of divine destiny. God bless you Helen.

I have never heard of this composer before, but I am thoroughly impressed. The intimacy of the music is apparent right from the start. Moments like the one that starts at 18:14 are peppered throughout the piece with enough frequency to make my heart soar. What a lovely thing to stumble upon on a Thursday evening.

This serenade is strikingly beautiful! I have been enjoying it so much in some of the You Tube Rare History videos. Thank you so much for sharing it, Bartje.

This is outstanding. not only beautiful and meticulously composed, but I've just never have someone make a string orchestra sound so diverse and each line is sung out in such a way. So interwoven and complicated, but still seems to sing sweet little tunes to you.

The adagio part of this makes me weep each time 10:39 The melancholy which Dvorak spoke about. So beautiful how he captured it but it does end more cheery. Always amazes me how you can create such a sound as this from instruments and that it can invoke these feelings. I guess that's the beauty of aural art. Stunning musician. The opus 7 piece first mvt is also a gem.

I keep listening to this recording, wondering if it's just Suk's composing or if it's the beautiful way the orchestra is playing this piece. I think both parties are on fire here. The way the orchestra makes the first and last movements sound so bright and cheerful even in e flat major, but plays the 3rd movement so tenderly in g major. I am so thankful Suk composed this piece and we have this orchestra's recording.

God his trio was the first i’d heard of him. This is so nice too!! My new composer obsession thanks!

@twinicebear775

I don't believe so. Other composers are allowed to use a perfect fourth interval lol. It doesn't follow the same motif as the scheherezade one. Also Scheherezade was published in 1888, only 4 years before this piece.

Josef Suk was Antonin Dvořak's son-in-law.

Mr. Lentz's playing test starts at 5:28. I use 5:23 to get into it.

How great to see the score!!! There's just one small problem, so far (I'm on pause in the first mvt. atm) not much attention is being given to the written dynamics! A nice piece for strings though. I'm loving following the score, thank you.
