Just a matter of curiosity: can we know where the surname "GoYa" (with its surprising spelling) come from? 🌹🌹🌹

[@goyaquartet8628]

Thanks for your question and sorry for my late reply !! The poetic term "GoYa," rooted in Urdu (a Indian dialect), encapsulates the suspension of disbelief that occurs through captivating storytelling : GoYa is a realm of fantasy, a gateway to dream worlds, where sounds seamlessly transform into narratives. For us musicians, each piece we interpret is a unique story in itself, and GoYa is that fleeting instance when time momentarily ceases to exist, when we take the listener's hand, guiding them into the unfurling of the musical narrative.

To be honest, the architecture of this string quartet is not fully convincing when one attempts to catch it, considering that Schumann obviously makes use of "standard" forms. . Schumann was not "at home" with the discipline of sonata form. But his inspiration turned him either towards fragmented contrasting expressions or long lyric achievements. The mysterious alchemy of these trends makes this quartet dully convincing in its original and romantic expression. Impossible not to love it -especially when rendered by the GoYa quartet, who was so wide to "resurrect" the three quartets of Schumann ... among others!!! ❤❤❤🧡🧡💛💛💚🤎💚💛💛🧡🧡❤❤❤
