String Quartets in G, D.887 & in c, D.703

Album by Franz Schubert & Carmina Quartet

String Quartets in G, D.887 & in C minor, D.703 are a pair of chamber works by Franz Schubert, composed in 1826 and 1820 respectively. They juxtapose expansive, lyrical writing and adventurous harmonic progressions characteristic of Schubert's late-classical to early-romantic idiom, with the G major quartet demonstrating broad multi-movement scope and the C minor work presenting a concentrated, intense single-movement fragment that points toward later Romantic developments in chamber music.
