BERNHARD MOLIQUE (1802-1869): String Quartets, Vol. 2 - in E Flat, Op. 18/3 & in F Minor, Op. 28.

Description: It's been three and a half years since volume one (December 2005), so, to remind you: stylistically, Molique starts with Beethoven and ends with Mendelssohn - Schumann was too "modern" for him - so, for rigorous working out of motifs and true "civilized conversation among four equals", these quartets (op. 18 from 1843 and the other from 1846) are models of their type. Mannheim String Quartet.
