Budapest Quartet (1886)

The Budapest Quartet was a string quartet established in Budapest in 1886 by Jenő Hubay and David Popper.

The members of the Budapest Quartet in 1888: Josef Waldbauer, Victor von Herzfeld, Jenő Hubay and David Popper

Johannes Brahms performed with the quartet and thought it was the best he had heard.[1]

This quartet went under a variety of names. Outside Hungary, it was usually called "Quartet Hubay-Popper". Within Hungary it was called "Hungarian Quartet" or "Budapest Quartet". This was because Hungarians were fiercely patriotic.[2]

They performed for twenty-seven years.[3]

Composition edit

The quartet's initial composition was:

Herzfeld played in 1886-1889 and 1897-1899. Wilhelm Grünfeld (concertmaster of Budapest Opera) played in 1888 the 2nd violin and 1889 József Bloch [hu] (later a teacher at the Music Academy). After then, two students of Hubay played the 2nd violin: in 1894 János Farkas and from 1895 Rudolf Kemény.[4] Elderling left the quartet soon. Violist from 1888 was Josef Waldbauer[5][6][7] and from 1898 Gustav Szerémi.
