String Quartets Nos. 1 & 2

Album by Johannes Brahms & Carmina Quartet

String Quartets Nos. 1 & 2 are chamber works by Johannes Brahms, composed and published in 1873. They exemplify Brahms's Romantic chamber style, melding classical forms with dense harmonic language, contrapuntal textures and rhythmic drive, and they form a central part of his 1870s chamber-music output as he consolidated his approach to large-scale instrumental writing.
