*The String Quartet in D minor was written in 1824, just after Schubert became aware of his ruined health. It is popularly known as the "Death and the Maiden" Quartet because the second movement is adapted from the piano accompaniment to Schubert's 1817 song (or lied), "Death and the Maiden".

Ariel Dorfman's 1991 play "Death and the Maiden" and its 1994 film adaptation (directed by Roman Polanski) take their names from the quartet.

  • @MrGgNoobz Dear God!, Schubert really does wonderful things even from the grave!

  • Anyone else wish he had written a violin concerto, maybe a piano concerto? OH what they would sound like...?! But for that damn obsession with opera and symphonies; well those works are very much branded with his fascinating color-palette, so that's nice.

  • Why does every classical youtube clip contain comments like: "Dude, I'm a metalhead but I also think this music is awesome"?

    Are you afraid of being seen as brain-damaged headbangers, or just trying to stress the already obvious connection between hardrock and its derivatives and classical music? Just seems like meaningless internet-posing.

  • @VMOjeda1 I'm trying to say that National Socialism is my favorite thing in this world.

  • @PTR131 what do you want to say? can you explain it

  • @PTR131 Hah, commie. 

  • @PTR131

    Hahahaha total troll you.

  • The only bad thing about Schubert was him not being a Nazi.

  • ahh finally some excellent regency period emo music...
