Notes
The String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 13, was composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1827. Written when he was 18 years old, it was, despite its official number, Mendelssohn’s first mature string quartet. One of Mendelssohn’s most passionate works, the A minor Quartet is one of the earliest and most significant examples of cyclic form in music.
