String Quartets No. 1 Op. 7 / No.2 Op. 10

Album by Arnold Schönberg & Pražák Quartet & Christine Whittlesey

String Quartets No. 1 Op. 7 and No. 2 Op. 10 are chamber works by Arnold Schoenberg, composed in 1905 and 1908 respectively. The quartets move from late-Romantic chromaticism towards early atonality, featuring dense harmonic language, extended dissonance and increasingly unconventional formal choices that mark a pivotal transition in Schoenberg's compositional development and in early 20th-century chamber music.
