By 1815, a teenaged Franz Schubert had already written (at least) ten scores for quartet, for the family circle, ‘Hausmusik’, without seeking to conceal his models borrowed from Haydn and, especially, Mozart. Natural melodic invention, amazingly elaborate harmonic skill and the spirit of the Lied did not fully assert themselves until the Quartettsatz of 1820, an Allegro assai, suddenly filled with anxiety, followed by 41 bars of an Andante suspended forever, ordinarily passed over in silence. Here, the Zemlinsky Quartet repeats the fantastic success that marked their previous performances of Dvořák’s early quartets.
