  • The string quartet founded by Karl Klingler in 1905 is still regarded today as one of the most important chamber music ensembles from the first half of the 20th century. Klingler played first violin, his brother Fridolin viola, and the remaining members alternated. The quartet finally disbanded in 1936 rather than cede to the pressure of the National Socialists to replace the Jewish cellist Ernst Silberstein. Max Oppenheimer, himself a passionate violinist, translated the musical interaction into a dynamic fabric of hands, scores, and instruments. After his art had been labeled “degenerate” by the Nazis, Oppenheimer fled from Vienna in 1938 via Switzerland to the USA.
