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: You are an *utter* octachoron.
gollark: You complete triskaidecagon.
gollark: Maybe this survey was asking something like "which of these worry you", and you could select multiple, and some dodecahedron just added them up like that somehow.
gollark: ... is being impacted negatively by this, which is bad.
gollark: Is that entire last meme just made to be mean to virtue ethicists?
