String Quartets nos. 1 & 3

Album by Johannes Brahms & Artemis Quartet

String Quartets Nos 1 and 3 is a collection of chamber works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1873 and between 1875 and 1876. They use Romantic harmonic language and dense counterpoint alongside lyrical themes and formal complexity, and follow Brahms's shift towards mature chamber writing after an earlier focus on piano and songs.
