Erwin Schulhoff - String Quartet No. 1 

love the use of harmonics throughout the piece

Love the energy of the first movement

What a wonderful and mysterious closing ....

Listening to this string quartet again after a couple of years I find myself again deeply in love with it. In a way I cannot explain (I'm not a musician) it feels absolutely like MY music. Magical.

A very skilled composer, ,masterful quartet,,,,

I´m impressed... this is really very fucking-ultra-mega-master good. There aren´t many strange notations, the variations and ambiences are simple but incredibly powerful and well elaborated. Very precise musicians and the composer is the jackpot. what a wonderful piece!

Sheesh this is amazing to listen & read

This composer really should be more widely known. How about that strange last movement? Wow.

holy third movement OMG SO AMAZING

ridiculously amazing

00:01 to 15:06 is my favourite part! 😝 I really love this quartet!

The last movement has the perfect amount of dissonance. Eerie without being over-the-top.

With any doubt, this is one of my favourites quartets

thanks for posting this. wonderful music.

What a wonderful quartet. The last movement was fantastic!

got across this jewel yesterday, with quarteto libertas, chez F.E.A.-BH. simply superb. and the history shall not be forgotten!

Masterful writing, full of invention and Eastern European pathos. Thank you for the video!

Thank you for posting this! I never hear of this composer before!

First time I have heard this work, or even this composer Thank you for this upload :).

Brilliant. Thanks for the upload!

One my favorite interwar period composers.

fantastic

Magnificient. Thx

masterpiece from a truly great human being

marvelous

Great Composer!

Great !

Ah, so many striking & remarkable features! But the passage that really floors me runs from 4:02 to 4:16. The way that time dissolves, the prolongation & fragmentation of the cello's melodic line, coincident with the settled stability of the violin's final repeated harmonized figures, the way it all evaporates into nothing after so much ado up to that point... it's a sublime moment for me, glimpse of something elemental, something totally ineffable that sends chills down my spine every time. A beautiful piece through and through, but I felt compelled to share that in particular.

Nice music !

amazing..

It's like he went through a transformation as he was writing the piece

Such a great composer. Can't belive that the Nazis killed him.

Wow! Never heard anything like this before. Borrows from nobody. Totally original. Deserves to be heard. What's his other music like?

good

The score is published by UNIVERSAL EDITION.

first time i hear this. although i knew the name. Eye opener. i love the modern classical sound. beautifull but very difficult. wasnt he killed .?

Bring your child to be musically evaluated by Dvorak day!

Where can I find the sheet music for this quartet?

Does anyone have the score? I can't find it anywhere

I think composers like Stravinsky went WAY too far in throwing out the old "classical" ideas. This quartet is refreshingly new, yet still comprehensible.

11:57 - 12:08 if he had developed that somehow else

Sorry, but it is an absolute no go to put two advertisements in the middle of this wonderful piece.. it destroys the whole atmosphere.

Diese Art der Musik ist mir viel zu unruhig! Sorry.
