String Quartet "Death and the Maiden"

Album by Franz Schubert & Orlando String Quartet

String Quartet 'Death and the Maiden' is a string quartet by Franz Schubert, composed in 1824. The work is a late-Classical to early-Romantic chamber piece that is largely in a minor key, has stark dynamic contrasts and an extended variation movement based on an earlier Schubert song, and is part of Schubert's late chamber output that shows his shift to more dramatic harmonic language and larger-scale forms.
