String Quintet / Quartettsatz

Album by Franz Schubert & Weller Quartett & Dietfried Gürtler

String Quintet and the Quartettsatz are chamber works by Franz Schubert, composed in 1828 and 1820 respectively. The String Quintet is a late composition using an expanded quintet scoring with two cellos to produce dense, lyrical textures and wide-ranging harmonic exploration, while the Quartettsatz is a single-movement quartet fragment in C minor that displays concentrated dramatic momentum and harmonic adventurousness, each work illustrating key moments in Schubert's development of his chamber-music language.
