The Alban Berg Quartet.

Once again, please forgive me for the way I've had to split this.

This is one of my favourite works!

man, this piece is seriously exuberant. the violins especially are very lively. O_O

[MatchboxHeaven]

Schubert is a composer from the Romantic Era yet this work has a medievil feel.

[kikkimaki]

This is annoying... Why did they divide this in so many little parts?



[WPGS25041941]

That's more like it - proper music.

@MatchboxHeaven Actually, much like his older contemporary, Beethoven, whom he idolized, Schubert is a transition composer who bridges between the Classical and Romantic eras, belonging to the end of the First Viennese School. Like many Romantic composers, he hearkened back to their idea of the medieval sound in several pieces. One of his Moments Musicaux especially does this, evoking a medieval troubadour...

@MatchboxHeaven truly so

genial este cuartetazo. el del primer violín parece Mundstock de Les Luthiers. jiji.

[DieSonneSinkt]

Quartetto Italiano perfected this.

[beethomozart]

powerful scherzo from the best of Schubert's quartets, only no. 13 Rosamunda quartet can compare, the ABQ as always extraordinary

[shintee]

ya, there's a quartet called the Amadeus quartet too, after Mozart.
