Schubert: Quartet in D minor, Death and the Maiden

Schubert's Death and the Maiden is one of the most beloved pieces of the string quartet repertoire. With its dramatic opening movement, eponymous theme and variations movement based around a setting by Schubert of a poem depicting death reassuring a young girl, sparkling scherzo, and tarantella finale (an Italian folk dance supposed to cure spider bites!), this piece will transport you to a new world.
