String Quartet “Death and the Maiden”

Album by Franz Schubert & Quatuor Debussy

String Quartet No. 14 'Death and the Maiden' is a string quartet by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1824. The work is characterised by its D minor tonality, stark contrasts between brooding lyrical writing and vigorous rhythmic drives, and a set of variations in its slow movement that exemplify Schubert's late harmonic exploration, placing the quartet as a key piece in his late chamber music output.
