Bernhard Romberg gave cellists eleven wonderfully tuneful string quartets, in which the first violin - which usually dominates the melody and rhythm - and the cello switch roles: in the later quartets, especially, the cello shines as leader. Brilliantly played, they constitute a great tribute to the bass part.We can assume that Romberg, as a virtuoso, performed them in his own concerts. By republishing them we wish to show how indispensable these works are, both for domestic and concert use. The first three quartets in E flat, B flat and D major were initially published as a set of parts, titled Trois / QUATUORS / Pour deux Violons, Alto / et Basse obligé / composés et dediés / à Joseph Haydn / par / BERNARD ROMBERG. / Oeuv. 1. Liv. 1. - Leipsic - Pr. 2 Rthlr 12 Gr. / Chez Breitkopf & Härtel / 67 (3901) [Pl.-No.]. Bernhard Heinrich Romberg, the son of a fine cellist and bassoonist, was born in Dinklage (Oldenburg state) on 12 November 1767. His first teacher was his father. He was just seven when he first appeared in public. He continued his studies with Johann Conrad Schlick in Münster. His first concert tours to Holland and Paris included violinist Andreas Romberg, his cousin and age-mate. Intermittently a member of the Münster orchestra, Bernhard, with his cousin, was recruited by the Elector Maximilian Franz for his orchestra in Bonn. The Revolution's turmoils put an end to the post in 1792. This was followed by 3 years in the Hamburg opera orchestra. He then travelled through Italy with his cousin Andreas, performing on the way back in Vienna, where he met Joseph Haydn. Concert tours to London, Portugal and Spain followed. An occasional teacher at the Paris Conservatoire, he was drawn back to Hamburg until his apointment as solo cellist to the Berlin court orchestra in 1805. Extensive journeys through Poland and Russia, returning via Stockholm and Copenhagen, brought him in 1813 to Vienna, where he took part in the first performance of Beethoven's 7th symphony. With his Stradivari cello, he enjoyed further triumphs in Northern Germany, Belgium, France and finally Moscow, where he remained for nearly 2 years. In 1816 he was appointed Prussian Court Capellmeister, but left Berlin again in 1819 to dazzle Europe as a virtuoso touring with his own compositions. From 1820 on, except for five years in Berlin (1826-1831), he lived in his beloved Hamburg until his death on 13 August 1841.
