String Quartets Nos. 1 & 3

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & St. Lawrence String Quartet

String Quartets Nos. 1 & 3 is a collection of chamber works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1871 and 1876. They exemplify Tchaikovsky's Romantic style with lyrical melodies, rich harmonies and dramatic contrasts, and represent key examples of his chamber-music output during the 1870s as he developed his mature compositional voice.
