Two decades later\, in the year of Beethoven’s death\, an eighteen-year-old Felix Mendelssohn fell in love and immersed himself in Beethoven’s late quartets\, writing a small song called “Frage” in which a young man asks\, “Ist es wahr?” (is it true?) that his beloved waits for him beneath the vines. He built an entire quartet around that question and closed it by letting the song return\, an answer to the beloved and to the master who had taught him how to ask.\n\n\nJanuary 7\, 2027 at 7:00 PM\n \nHayfield House at Penn State Wilkes-Barre\n44 University Drive\, Dallas\, PA 18612 \n \nNo senior/student discount.
