String Quartets No.13 & 14 'Death and the Maiden'

Album by Franz Schubert

String Quartets No.13 and No.14 are chamber music compositions by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1824. They exemplify early Romantic chamber writing, combining lyrical, song-like melodies, intricate contrapuntal textures and darker harmonic progressions, and together represent a pivotal phase in Schubert's late output as he expanded formal structures and expressive range in the string quartet medium.
