Quatuors à cordes, op. 41

Album by Robert Schumann & Quatuor Modigliani

Quatuors à cordes, Op. 41 is a set of three string quartets by Robert Schumann, composed in 1842. They represent Schumann's engagement with the string quartet tradition during a particularly productive year for his chamber music, combining lyrical melodies, rich Romantic harmonies and contrapuntal textures that balance song-like expressiveness with formal rigour.
