String Quartets Op. 41 舒曼‧羅伯特 弦樂四重奏 亨乐版

儘管舒曼在1838-1839年間首次嘗試為這種室內樂的最高形式作曲，但僅是一些片段，而作品41的三首A小調、F大調和A大調絃樂四重奏則是在1842年6、7月間一氣呵成的。在首次私人演出中，觀眾熱情高漲，特別是孟德爾松的稱讚，促使舒曼將新作品獻給了他。作曲家在寫給出版商的信中充滿了自信： "請放心，我已經不遺餘力地創作出了非常出色的作品，有時我甚至認為這是我最好的作品"。眾所周知，舒曼的作品 41 如今已成為四重奏演奏家的核心曲目之一

原文簡介:
Although Schumann's first attempts at composing for this supreme form of chamber music in 1838-1839 were only fragments, the three String Quartets Op. 41 in A minor, F Major and A Major were written in one go in June/July 1842. At the first private performances the audience was enthusiastic and it was Mendelssohn's praise in particular that occasioned Schumann to dedicate the new works to him. The composer wrote to his publisher in an appropriately confident manner: “Be assured, I have spared no pains in creating something very decent, indeed I sometimes think it is my best”. As is generally known, today Schumann's Opus 41 forms part of the core repertoire for quartet players.

“All three quartets are outstanding in their Romantic fervor and virtuosity...This immaculate urtext edition will be welcomed by quartet players as their text of choice.”--Strings magazine
