The String Quartets

Album by Franz Schubert & Quatuor Modigliani

The String Quartets are a set of chamber works by Franz Schubert, composed between 1813 and 1828. Rooted in Classical forms with Early Romantic harmony, they feature lyrical melodies, expanded harmonic language and evolving formal structures that chart Schubert's development from his early quartets to his late-period experimentation and broader contribution to the chamber-music repertoire.
