Franz Schubert (1797–1828)

String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D. 810
“Der Tod und das Mädchen” (Death and the Maiden)

Composed in 1824, this quartet stands as one of Schubert’s most intense and dramatic works, built around his earlier lied “Death and the Maiden.” It is both a confrontation with mortality and a testament to human resilience.
