Galilee Quartet

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) Quartet No. 12 in C minor “Quartettsatz”, D.703 Robert Schumann (1810-1856) String Quartet, op. 41 No. 2 With his Quartettsatz, Schubert leaves one of the most striking fragments of the string quartet repertoire. The only movement of a quartet that remained unfinished, this page concentrates a dramatic tension and a rhythmic energy of rare intensity. Composed in 1842, Schumann's Quartet op. 41 No. 2 is distinguished by the vitality of its writing, the richness of its thematic work, and the constant dialogue between the four instruments.
