Schumann was the first romantic composer to pair the piano with the string quartet. It was written during the composer\\u2019s \\u2018chamber music year\\u2019 (1842) when, \\u2018in the first happiness of reunion with the piano, his creative imagination took on a new lease of life\\u2019 (Joan Chisell, Robert Schumann). Schumann had been studying the string quartets of Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn, and the String Quartet in A major Op 41 No 3 demonstrates these influences, but is written in a characteristic musical language and contains many highly original strokes, particularly the casting of the Scherzo as a set of variations.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Takacs Quartet are joined by Marc-Andre Hamelin in an invigorating partnership that has already been widely acclaimed on the concert platform.\u003cp\u003eString Quartet in A major Op 41 No 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Quintet in E flat major Op 44\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55143017578881,"sku":"822703","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61sJOZGkUAL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767647246","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/822703","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
