Franz Schubert: String Quartet No. 13 in A minor (the Rosamunde Quartet), D. 804, Op. 29

So, so beautiful - and so much feeling ... I keep returning to listen, again and again ... may this divine genius, Schubert, rest in peace ... and may these gifted musicians receive all of the praise and rewards that they deserve for their brilliant performance!

[@emmagutierrez1408]

How could Schubert write such profound music when he was so young in years? It's always amazed and given me much food for thought. Wonderful to hear this.

[@jpd9586]

Because he was inspired and there's no age for that.

[@heinzsilberbach7586]

How could Mozart write such profound music when he was so young in years? How could Mendelson write such profound music when he was so young in years?

[@emmagutierrez1408]

Why yes, indeed. You see, I was expressing my wonder. Not a real question. Just wonder because the music is so intense for me. Not to be taken literally. Enjoy beautiful music!

[@grangetowncardiff6935]

@@emmagutierrez1408 Ah, but your question was right, because Schubert might have been the greatest of these. Certainly greater than Mendelsohn, and dare I say, if he had lived, greater than Mozart? I know this is silly, but I do love Schubert, and mourn his early death. If only. Pip Pip.

14:13 - 14:52 The end of that just... God, it brings me chills and tears to my eyes. It reminds me of the sort of music my father plays. Classical has such a way of fueling a hundred tons of Emotion in a way that so few songs in the modern day can manage. It stabs into your soul and rips it in two, an open wound to pour sheer heart out through the strings. It is The Best.

[@Bluenose352]

I, too, came here, after watching The Avengers. I know it's annoying to some of you. But, it should be looked upon as welcoming those, who may have listened to various genres, to classical music. It's opening the doors to beautiful music.

[@alonsorodriguez9270]

Schubert creció tocando música de cámara con su familia y compuso varios cuartetos de cuerda (bastante apreciables) para estos asuntos domésticos. Sus cuartetos maduros compuestos para interpretaciones públicas datan de los años 1820 e incluyen el movimiento único “Quartettsatz”, el “Rosamunda”, “La muerte y la Doncella”, y el épico cuarteto en sol mayor, lo que suma un total de quince cuartetos. Escrito en 1824 cuando Schubert tenía solo 27 años (le restaban cuatro años de vida), el cuarteto “Rosamunda” sería la única obra del género interpretada y publicada durante su vida. Eclipsado por los cuartetos más dramáticos que le rodean cronológicamente, el cuarteto decimotercero es notable por su reservada suavidad teñida de oscuridad, una atmósfera y textura delicadas y la firma incontenible de Schubert: un delicioso lirismo. Como solía hacer con frecuencia, Schubert tomó prestadas semillas melódicas y rítmicas de su propia música -canciones y música incidental- para cristalizar la nueva obra. Estas influencias son detectables en los cuatro movimientos, particularmente las gentiles melodías del movimiento lento tomadas del entreacto de la obra "Rosamunda", escrita un año antes. El primer movimiento es el más intenso. Su melodía nostálgica con una urgencia rítmica subyacente ubica el carácter distintivo de Schubert: anhelo esperanzado rodeado de desesperación. Al usar temas múltiples, texturas flexibles, fuertes dinámicas y breves y alarmantes guiños de fugatos, la música se alza y decrece, cada nuevo gesto positivo se desbarata por una oscuridad más fuerte. Los movimientos intermedios son más sutiles. El Andante con el tema de Rosamunda canta suavemente, pero se alza hacia un punto culminante de angustia, aunque brevemente. El Menuetto es una sorpresa: en vez de una vivaz scherzo, Schubert escribe una música con carácter atmosférico que gana su rítmica oscilante tentativamente, tímida e incierta. El trío trae alivio por su sencillez casta que baila hacia la luz. Este espíritu más amable impregna el finale, sorprendentemente suave para Schubert. Una danza folklórica de ritmo moderado y ligera influencia gitana se convierte en el escaparate de una fantasía magistral de texturas y tonalidades parpadeantes que confirman que el cuarteto Rosamunde es una sutil delicadeza entre las obras maestras “tardías” de Schubert. 00:00 - 1. Allegro ma non troppo 14:10 - 2. Andante 21:43 - 3. Menuetto - Allegretto - Trio 29:00 - 4. Allegro moderato

Idk why but listen to the major key sections no longer sounds happy or joyful anymore. It sounds like a longing for something, waiting, a cry for something...

[@iankemp1131]

The last 3 Schubert quartets (especially the G major D887) and the string quintet all strike me this way; it adds to their depth and appeal. Schubert was by then facing ill-health and maybe he already suspected that he might not have enough time left to do all that he wanted. Phenomenal what he did achieve!

There is a sense of irreality in a lot of Schubert's major key music, especially if the piece starts in the minor.

Yes, like a lot of composers, they re-used some motiffs to create new works. But note how different is treatment that he employs to the same set of chords in each peace: in the string quartet, the motiff is played and enriched and then the music moves on. On the Imprompu, of course, he lets it loose. But the best is to hear it from professional concert players to fully grasp what they go through to imprint such a wonderful piece of almost diaphanous music into a powerful emotional pull enrapturing everyone.
