Classically romantic
Robert Schumann's only three string quartets opened up a wealth of new expressive possibilities for the genre, full of romantic enthusiasm and based on his intensive study of the classics. »Haydn's, Mozart's, Beethoven's quartets, who wouldn't know them, who wouldn't throw a stone at them?« wrote Schumann in the »Neue Zeitschrift für Musik«. The Quatuor Mosaïques concert features two works from this impressive »gallery of ancestors«, the middle of the trio op. 41 by Schumann himself, the one in F major, which perhaps comes closest to the dedicatee Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in its striving for beautiful form and purity of movement »in heartfelt reverence«.
