String Quartets Nos. 1-3

Album by Robert Schumann & Ying Quartet

String Quartets Nos. 1-3 is a set of string quartets by Robert Schumann, composed in 1842. The music is Romantic chamber writing that often moves between songlike melody and complex counterpoint, and it was written during a period when Schumann concentrated on chamber forms after composing larger-scale works.
