They are technically difficult works, with contrasts of dynamics and an almost symphonic magnitude of sound. At Razumovsky’s request, the first Quartet includes a popular Russian theme that characterises the last movement.<\/p>\n The “Quartettsatz”, which is the first movement of a string quartet that Franz Schubert never finished, has a certain tragic air. It is one of the composer\u2019s last works.<\/p>\n The String Quartet No. 14, Op. 142 is the penultimate quartet that Dmitri Shostakovich composed, when he was already seriously ill. The cello plays a predominant role.<\/p>\n\n
