String Quartet No. 14 "Death and the Maiden", D. 810
by Franz Schubert
ViolinViolaCelloRomanticString Quartet~40 minprofessional
Named for the second movement's theme-and-variations based on Schubert's own song "Der Tod und das Mädchen." One of the most dramatic works in the chamber music repertoire. The relentless opening triplets, the achingly beautiful slow movement, and the tarantella-like finale make it a cornerstone of quartet literature.
