String Quartet (Chausson)
- String Quartet (Chausson)
The String Quartet in C minor, op. 35, was begun by Ernest Chausson in 1898 and the composer had fully scored all but part of the third and last movement before he died in an accident in 1899. Relying on the drafts left behind by Chausson, Vincent d'Indy completed the final movement and the string quartet was premiered on January 27, 1900.
The first movement is rather influenced by the impressionism of Debussy, while the second adopts a theme from Wagner's opera "Das Rheingold".
The three movements are:
*"Grave"
*"Très calme"
*"Gaiement et pas trop vite"
