String Quartets 2 & 4

Album by Arnold Schönberg & Gringolts Quartet & Malin Hartelius

String Quartets Nos 2 and 4 are chamber works by Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg, composed in 1908 and 1928. The second quartet moves from late-Romantic chromaticism into atonality and includes a soprano in its later movements, while the fourth quartet is written using Schoenberg's twelve-tone method and features dense contrapuntal textures tied to his later output.
