Quartet in F major, op. 95 “American” / Quartet in E-flat major, op. 51
Album by Antonín Dvořák & Budapest String Quartet
String Quartet No. 12 in F major, Op. 96 ('American'), and String Quartet No. 8 in E-flat major, Op. 51 are chamber works by Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1893 and 1873 respectively. Both quartets employ Bohemian folk-inflected melodies and classical quartet forms, with the earlier Op. 51 showing Dvořák's developing national style and the later Op. 96 expanding into broader, more expansive textures influenced by his time in the United States.
First released: 1956
