The String Quartets

Album by Robert Schumann & Engegårdkvartetten

The String Quartets are a set of chamber works by German composer Robert Schumann, composed in 1842. They are Romantic-era string quartets that blend lyrical melodies, inventive harmonic progressions and contrapuntal textures, and they represent the concentrated chamber-music output of a pivotal year in Schumann's compositional career.
First released: July 2018
