My favourite movement of the quartet is the second (Assez vif – Très rythmé), and although my favourite recording is the one on the CD I have from the Alexander String Quartet, I have posted the performance by the Hagen Quartet. I have a visual poem-like thing that I feel embodies my response to the movement - think of the words as lyrics to the pizzicato melody.
ENJOY!!
