Australian String Quartet
Scarlatti - Sonate a Quattro in D minor
Fanny Mendelssohn - String Quartet in E-flat major
These works by Scarlatti have been described as “the earliest string quartets”, combining fugal composition with passionate chromaticism and playful minuets. Fanny Mendelssohn surprised even herself with her only mature quartet, wondering how she, “not an overly sentimental person”, could possibly have written a piece so moving and emotional. Although her brother Felix considered it “undisciplined”, she held firm and never revised it.
