String Quartets no. 1 & no. 3

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Kontra Quartet

String Quartets No. 1 and No. 3 are chamber music works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1871 and 1876 respectively. The quartets combine Romantic melodic expressiveness and rich harmonic language with classical string-quartet structures, reflecting Tchaikovsky's evolving compositional voice and his use of folk-like motifs within an intimate chamber setting.
