String Quartet Movement In C Minor D 703

Unfortunately, Schubert's Transcription Of A New String Quartet, Begun In December 1820, Was Not Meant To Go Beyond The First Movement: At The Beginning Of The Second Movement, The Heavily Revised Autograph Breaks Off. But The Fragmentary Work That Schubert's Legacy Had Of Johannes Brahms Inspired The New Owner So Much After A First Performance In 1867 That Brahms Published The First Movement Three Years Later As Schubert's "Nachlassenes Werk" Thus Paving The Way For This Chamber Music Gem Into The Hearts Of The Audience. Schubert's Autograph Offers So Many Divergences In Dynamics And Articulation That Editor Egon Voss Assumes That Schubert Experimented With Variants. Therefore, In His Urtext Edition With Additions And Changes To Parallel Passages, He Is Extremely Reserved And Makes Schubert's Variety Of Ideas Comprehensible To The Executing Musicians As Well. For Those Who Want To See Schubert's Workshop, There Are The Few Bars For The 2nd Movement As A Bonus!
