Following releases of some of his symphonies and piano trios, cpo now turns to the composer's Second, Third, Fourth and Eighth String Quartets. In his »middle quartets« the classicistic control of his music from those years makes itself manifest, i.e., interpretive markings in Italian, exposition repeats unmotivated by an increased degree of difficulty, a reduction in chromatics and a return to old dance forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Rasch, Jedoch Ruhig \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Rasch \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Langsam, Doch Nicht Schleppend \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Rasch \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Allegro Con Moto \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Andante Con Moto \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Allegro Con Spirito \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Allegro Patetico \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Allegro, Non Troppo Vivo, Quasi Allegretto \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Andante \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Finale: Presto \u003cbr\u003e2.5 Marsch: Allegro \u003cbr\u003e2.6 Sarabande: Andante, Moderato Assai \u003cbr\u003e2.7 Capriccio: Vivace \u003cbr\u003e2.8 Arie (Doppelkanon): Quasi Larghetto \u003cbr\u003e2.9 Gavotte Und Musette: Allegro \u003cbr\u003e2.10 Menuett: Allegro Molto \u003cbr\u003e2.11 Gigue: Allegro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
