Quatuors à cordes, Nos. 13, 14

Album by Franz Schubert & Melos Quartett

Quatuors à cordes Nos. 13 and 14 are string quartets by Franz Schubert, composed in 1824. They exemplify Schubert's late chamber style, combining expansive lyrical melodies and bold harmonic shifts with heightened dramatic contrasts, and they occupy a pivotal place in his output by advancing structural and expressive tendencies that helped bridge Classical and early Romantic quartet traditions.
First released: 1st September 1992
