I hear influences from Haydn in the introduction, a snippet from Beethoven's Emperor concerto reworked and expanded imaginatively for the first theme of the allegro, and a fugue Bach might have written on one of his better days starting at 6:07. On the whole, one of the finest string quartets ever written, and this from one of the greatest chemists of the 19th century!

@5610winston 6:07 doesn't sound bach-like, it sounds awesomererererer

[5610winston]

@slaytesics As I said, "...might have written on one of his better days...."

Suffice it to say, Borodin displayed outstanding mastery of counterpoint here, and throughout the entire quartet.

[slaytesics]

@5610winston completely agreed
