String Quartet No.3, Op.30 / "Quartettsatz" in B flat major (1865)

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Párkányí quartet

The Quartettsatz in B flat major is an early single-movement string quartet fragment by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1865. The short work uses lyrical themes within standard string quartet scoring and shows early harmonic experiments that predate his numbered quartets of the 1870s, and it is separate from his later String Quartet No. 3, Op. 30.
