Details

Pleyel's Op.2 String Quartets were first published in 1784 by the Viennese publisher Graeffer. They were advertised in the Wiener Zeitung on 15 December of that year and appeared with a dedication to Joseph Haydn. All six works reveal Pleyel as a composer of considerable skill and accomplishment. Thematic invention is consistently high across all six works and some movements, many of the sonata forms in particular, are remarkable for the rich variety of musical material presented. Likewise Pleyel handles sonata form with flair and imagination. The first movement of the fifth quartet, for example, contains a false reprise that forces substantial recomposition in the recapitulation, and there are at least two examples of mirror recapitulations where the main theme resurfaces only during the closing stages of the movement (first and second movements of the first quartet). All but one of the Op.2 Quartets are in three movements (the exception is the fourth quartet in E flat which adds a brief 29-bar Minuet between its slow movement and finale). The slow movements are directed to be played con sordini (as Haydn often did in many symphony slow movements); these are generally finely wrought cantilenas with the focus firmly on the first violin. Formally the most interesting is that of the sixth quartet. The first 50 odd bars of the movement suggest variation style and structure as (as do the sectional headings in the source), but the main theme is not really varied at all, despite its promise. Instead the movement unfolds as a series of couplets, only the first of which stays in the tonic. Each of these focuses on a different instrument. With the reprise of the theme in between (ma senza replica), and the gradually diminishing surface rhythms typical of the variation style, the movement becomes an extended variation-cum-rondo structure - a relative perhaps of Haydn's favourite alternating or double variation form. Additional structural interest results from the way Pleyel resolves the dominant chord right at the end of the movement directly into the first chord of the hunt-styled Presto finale. Throughout the six works Pleyel's use of the harmonic lingua franca of the period is personalised through occasional chromatic shadings - for example the extensive use of the neapolitan in the slow movement of the first quartet. There are also numerous instances of sudden modulations -for example, towards the start of the first movement development sections of the first and fifth quartets, or the juxtaposition of third-related keys as in the C major - A flat major combination in bars 29-30 of the slow movement of the second quartet. The best of the finales adopt the breezy, popular style typical of the classical Viennese quartet. The rondo movement concluding the fifth quartet shows clearly the influence of Haydn in both thematic structure and overall mood. The present edition reproduces as faithfully as possible the text of the Op.2 Quartets as transmitted in Graeffer's first edition of the works, a copy of which is preserved in the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde archives in Vienna. The style and notation of articulation and dynamic markings have been standardised throughout, and, where missing from the print, markings have been reconstructed from parallel passages. Like most eighteenth-century sources, the Graeffer edition is very inconsistent in its notation of appoggiature ; these have been standardised to minimise confusion. Obvious wrong notes have been corrected without comment, and editorial emendations with no authority from the print are placed within brackets. Allan Badley Dianne James

Good for skincare
Not even just good for eczema but also one of the best skincare products i’ve found for dry and dull skin. It does come on a little greasy but it gets absorbed quickly and has a very subtle but nice smell.

Finally found something to help with daughters eczema!
This product was just a simple next choice on our eczema journey with my daughters skin. We have tried most of the ointments and lotion available over the counter and only found slight relief with topical steroids. Due to my daughters age we always strayed from intense medical treatments to allow her body to grow as natural as possible. We have been to allergists, dermatologists and even regular doctor visits with some help but nothing that compares to this products outcome. My daughter hates her daily routine of lotion and how she was left feeling after application. Someone mentioned this product so we gave it an honest try. IT WORKS. I have no clue as to why it works so well because we cannot find a singular cause for the eczema, but since purchasing this product and using it once a day only on affected areas. Her skin is now clearer than EVER before, including when we tried topical steroids. She doesn't dread her bedtime routine any more and sometimes will even apply it herself. This has taken my daughters dry, flaky, cracked, itchy and sometimes bleeding skin and repaired it to normal and soft to the touch. I recommend this to anyone who has tried everything and to anyone who is just starting to look. I am receiving absolutely no compensation for this review but the fact that my daughter is now able to sleep all night. I cannot say it will work for everyone but can say that without a doubt has worked for us. One tube will usually last a month and sometimes longer, so it is very affordable. I will say that while it does not fully relieve her itching, it does make it much more bearable. She is young so struggled with not scratching but now is able to recognize her scratching and stop

ECZEMA HONEY Lotion Stick
I am in love with this stick moisturizer by Eczema Honey. I don't have eczema, but wanted a travel friendly, face/body friendly, ingredient friendly super moisterizer. This ticks all the boxes and more. A little goes a long way, it really does soak in without being greasy or oily, but can be layered for a more intense moisture. (More will leave you feeling with a little slip.) The light lavender scent is wonderful, not over whelming or too medicinal. Just pretty light lavender floral. I use this as a night cream and my face is so very soft in the morning. As a hand cream it's makes my skin look plump. Its fast and easy to use on my legs and body. It warms up quickly so there is no skin tugging. This is an amazing quality and the price is just right for how great this is! It's a staple for me.

Great product
Really helps with eczema! Yes it can be a little gritty but if you use your fingers and heat it up a little the grittiness disappears. Great item to leave in your purse, car or desk in case the eczema itch starts up.

Great for toddler eczema
Such a nice on-the-go option! We leave this in the car for quick application when my daughter’s eczema on her ankles starts acting up (she’s 2 and will scratch it while in her car seat). It helps almost instantly to minimize irritation. The consistency is smooth, doesn’t melt in the warmth, absorbs fast, and has a neutral smell. Very happy with this product and will buy more when we run out!
