I'm so glad this version of the trout is on youtube.

3rd movement, scherzo is really a presto, characterized by its happy rhytyhm and a contrasts of timbres, between the sharp acute violin and the deep grave contrabass, with a trio and its lyric counterpoint, this quartett was a really extraordinary quartett, I have several recordings of them, including this same "the trout" with Emil Gilels at the piano, and they really know their job, they sound completely Schubert!

It's hard to believe that a quartet like that was around in the old days....
