String Quartets nos. 1-3

Album by Robert Schumann & Auryn Quartet

String Quartets nos. 1-3 is a set of three chamber works by German composer Robert Schumann, composed and published in 1842. They are rooted in Romantic chamber music, with sustained melodies, rich harmonic writing and contrasts between intimate and turbulent textures, and they come from Schumann's 1842 period when he moved from solo piano composition to focused work in chamber forms.
