String Quartet no. 2 in A minor, op. 51 no. 2 / String Quartet no. 3 in B-flat major, op. 67

Album by Johannes Brahms & Végh Quartet

String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 51 No. 2 and String Quartet No. 3 in B-flat major, Op. 67 are chamber music works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1873 and 1876 respectively. Both quartets exemplify Brahms's late Romantic chamber style, combining dense counterpoint, rich harmonic language and classical forms, and they mark a stage in his career where he expanded his approach to structure and thematic development within intimate ensemble writing.
