Product Description
Complete String Quartets (Dover Chamber Music Scores)
<div><P>Although the string quartet was a rarely used form in 19th-century Russia, Tchaikovsky and Borodin both produced superb, inventive compositions in the genre. Tchaikovsky's <I>String Quartet No. 1</I> in D, Op. 11, is notable for its imaginative freshness and world-famous <I>Andante cantabile</I> movement. His <I>Quartet No. 2</I> in F, Op. 22, displays remarkable fluency and skilled craftsmanship, while <I>Quartet No. 3</I> in F-flat Minor, Op. 30, combines austerity with deeply felt intensity and vigor.<BR>Borodin's two string quartets are characterized by his impeccable craftsmanship and expert understanding and use of his instruments. The popular <I>String Quartet</I> No. 2 is especially known for the luxuriant richness of its third movement "Nocturne." Now all five works are available in this handsome, inexpensive edition. Reprinted from authoritative scores.<BR></div></P>
