String Quartet No. 6 (Spohr)

Louis Spohr's String Quartet No. 6 ("Gran Quatuor" [1]) in G minor, Op. 27, was completed in 1812. Dedicated to Count Razumovsky,[1][2] the dedicatee of Beethoven, Opus 59. string quartets, the composition, like the earlier String Quartet No. 3, is a concertante work with the musical emphasis being placed on the first violinist, while the other players act as accompaniment. Keith Warsop notes that the second Adagio movement seems to have been adapted from sketches to an unfinished violin concerto.[2]

Movements

The composition is in four-movement form:[1]

  1. Allegro moderato
  2. Adagio
  3. Menuetto: Allegro
  4. Finale: Vivace
gollark: Bold of you to assume big companies actually have people running support you can access.
gollark: There was the "AACS encryption key controversy" where people encoded it as flags and music and stuff.
gollark: So possibly not actually "hacking".
gollark: I bet they used the same password for everything and it got leaked somewhere.
gollark: How do you hack a *phone number*? Do you mean their phone network provider or something?
