Franz Schubert: String Quartet No. 13 in A minor (the Rosamunde Quartet), D. 804, Op. 29 

I am academically trained in musicology. I studied this particular quartet in school. And Loki brought me here.

Loki didn't bring me here, I was actually assigned to play this LOL

00:00 - 1. Allegro ma non troppo 14:10 - 2. Andante 21:43 - 3. Menuetto - Allegretto - Trio 29:00 - 4. Allegro moderato

How could Schubert write such profound music when he was so young in years? It's always amazed and given me much food for thought. Wonderful to hear this.

Schubert's music is just a treasure!!!

I am currently playing this in my quartet and also Loki brought me here

I, too, came here, after watching The Avengers. I know it's annoying to some of you. But, it should be looked upon as welcoming those, who may have listened to various genres, to classical music. It's opening the doors to beautiful music.

Loki did not bring me here. I am an avid lover of great music composed by the most talented people who ever roamed the planet.

This splendor is undisputed The depth of Schubert’s diversity is immeasurable

POV: you’re in the TVA elevator and get a flashback of Loki removing someone’s eyeball

Schubert brought me here

This song makes you go through all the emotions, hauntingly beautiful

Beautifully played. Strongly accented without ever sounding forced.

Wonderful interpretation, - sombre, dramatic, but transparent and clear as well. Unique and very meaningful. Thanks.

I love how when I was watching the Avengers in the theaters, i just popped up in my seat noticing that was Schubert. "Loki, you classy fellow." not to mention evil and mischievous.. he-he ^.^

TwoSetViolin's "What Not To Do In String Quartet" video brought me here.

Thank you avergers for introducing me to this beautiful expression of human suffering yet hope... Who knew if was an "easter egg" of glorious purpose...

14:13 - 14:52 The end of that just... God, it brings me chills and tears to my eyes. It reminds me of the sort of music my father plays. Classical has such a way of fueling a hundred tons of Emotion in a way that so few songs in the modern day can manage. It stabs into your soul and rips it in two, an open wound to pour sheer heart out through the strings. It is The Best.

A true chamber music performance where you feel that every note is being played with thought, care and skill. Played in a somewhat warm and resonant acoustic which brings out the sonority of the instruments. A thoroughly enjoyable rendition of this fine work.

Schubert had divine inspiration on This, mainly at Andante (14:10). I love it.

F.Schubert is one of the best composers ever !!! Praise the LORD for his wonderfull music!!!

For one reason or another, I have last listened to this remarkable masterpiece a few months back. The present performance sounds so fresh and convivial. What music!

honestly Loki!!!! well I'm in a string quartet playing violin , and we are thinking adding it on our list !!!

Alternation of major and minor in music of romantics so interesting! It is their character ...:-)

Comfort and gracefulness and beauty and sophisticated melody of Schubert‘s　music they play with skilful are immeasurable and off the charts Schubert is the cat‘s pajamas and knees and whiskers

The description states, "EICMF is unique in Denmark as it invites artists to collaborate in new constellations, form new relationships, establish a foundation for exchange and annually act as a host for an international community of artists." This is a wonderful way to share the music. It isn't the only festival to do this, though. The Seattle Chamber Music Society has two festivals each year in which the artists collaborate in "new constellations." This is a wonderful rendition of Schubert 13!!

An almost perfect piece of music I've been treasuring since childhood. Shadowed by his more famous masterpieces, this quartet melodies have the enchanting power of following and inspiring you all day. I'd recommend listening to it at least once a week; it'll add years of pure pleasure to anyone's drab moments.Too bad the camera work is far from matching the beauty and misses important moments of the players's musical dialogues and eye interactions.

Magnificent Schubert ..

Andante is amazing as all the play is. Delightful!

Absolutely beautiful, the first movement sounds fantastic!

Schubert creció tocando música de cámara con su familia y compuso varios cuartetos de cuerda (bastante apreciables) para estos asuntos domésticos. Sus cuartetos maduros compuestos para interpretaciones públicas datan de los años 1820 e incluyen el movimiento único “Quartettsatz”, el “Rosamunda”, “La muerte y la Doncella”, y el épico cuarteto en sol mayor, lo que suma un total de quince cuartetos. Escrito en 1824 cuando Schubert tenía solo 27 años (le restaban cuatro años de vida), el cuarteto “Rosamunda” sería la única obra del género interpretada y publicada durante su vida. Eclipsado por los cuartetos más dramáticos que le rodean cronológicamente, el cuarteto decimotercero es notable por su reservada suavidad teñida de oscuridad, una atmósfera y textura delicadas y la firma incontenible de Schubert: un delicioso lirismo. Como solía hacer con frecuencia, Schubert tomó prestadas semillas melódicas y rítmicas de su propia música -canciones y música incidental- para cristalizar la nueva obra. Estas influencias son detectables en los cuatro movimientos, particularmente las gentiles melodías del movimiento lento tomadas del entreacto de la obra "Rosamunda", escrita un año antes. El primer movimiento es el más intenso. Su melodía nostálgica con una urgencia rítmica subyacente ubica el carácter distintivo de Schubert: anhelo esperanzado rodeado de desesperación. Al usar temas múltiples, texturas flexibles, fuertes dinámicas y breves y alarmantes guiños de fugatos, la música se alza y decrece, cada nuevo gesto positivo se desbarata por una oscuridad más fuerte. Los movimientos intermedios son más sutiles. El Andante con el tema de Rosamunda canta suavemente, pero se alza hacia un punto culminante de angustia, aunque brevemente. El Menuetto es una sorpresa: en vez de una vivaz scherzo, Schubert escribe una música con carácter atmosférico que gana su rítmica oscilante tentativamente, tímida e incierta. El trío trae alivio por su sencillez casta que baila hacia la luz. Este espíritu más amable impregna el finale, sorprendentemente suave para Schubert. Una danza folklórica de ritmo moderado y ligera influencia gitana se convierte en el escaparate de una fantasía magistral de texturas y tonalidades parpadeantes que confirman que el cuarteto Rosamunde es una sutil delicadeza entre las obras maestras “tardías” de Schubert. 00:00 - 1. Allegro ma non troppo 14:10 - 2. Andante 21:43 - 3. Menuetto - Allegretto - Trio 29:00 - 4. Allegro moderato

The best interpretation! So heartfelt and flowing naturally! Congratulations!

Incredible artistry in the performance!

I only discovered 'Rosamunde' quite recently, but it stirs me more than better known Schubert string quartets like 'Death and the Maiden' and 'The Trout'.

Thank You, for this wonderful masterpiece so spiritually played!

I love listening to classical music

Superb! Civilization needs them.

Intense and gratifying to listen to.. Thank you for sharing!

this is lovely, and moves me deeply - most grateful!

Instant chills down the spine :)

This is like a hidden treasure. Thanks for uploading.

The string quartet No.13 (D.804), written in 1824, is my personal favourite (as for most listeners I suppose) out of all the 15 that Schubert composed. And especially so when performed as excellently as in the present concert by the four very talented musicians.

Simply lovely.

1st movement is divine

A wonderful piece of music wonderfully played! I especially loved the second movement but I enjoyed it all.

Absolutely adore this!

Heard this in Avengers (the scene with Loki waltzing into the German Museum)

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Andante 14:09; Menuetto - Allegretto 21:43; Finale - Allegro Moderato 28:59

una composizione elegante, di splendida coerenza interna, dotata di forte dinamismo

lovely and mastery played

BRAVISSIMI DOLCI EQUILIBRATI RILASSANTI BUONI PER UN BUON RISVEGLIO SIETE DEI ANGELI MUSICANTI COMPLIMENTI VIVISSIMI.

Of all Versions and Recordings of this, I prefer this one the most

Very nice performance. A fine combination of fine music, fine musicianship, and fine acoustics. I'm puzzled why all of your uploads I've seen so far have the incorrect aspect ratio, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying them. Thank you for taking the time to share them.

Beautiful.

So beautiful!

Gorgeous.

So touching. Well done

How wonderful ! So simple, so deep and so beautiful.

Is there absolutely nothing by this composer that isn't utterly brilliant and sublime? Guess not.

Idk why but listen to the major key sections no longer sounds happy or joyful anymore. It sounds like a longing for something, waiting, a cry for something...

I can't listen to this piece anymore without picturing someone getting stabbed in the eyeball.

thank you for posting, thank you to the great virtuosos. Consolation.

nice performance of this schubert gem...

QUÉ PLACER QUE ME PROVOCA LA MÚSICA DE SHUBERT: SUS QUINTETOS, CUARTETOS SUS WINTERRAISE.

Does anyone know that this piece was played when Loki attacked Stuttgart, Germany in the 2012 Marvel's The Avengers...it's that scene where he kills his first victim and transforms to his Asgardian form and strikes terror to everyone...before Steve Rogers and Iron Man arrive to subdue him.

💝Good performance !💝

I studied this for GCE O Level back in 1963. Thought it divine then and now.

un des plus beaux quatuors de schubert , un des plus beaux quatuors tout court , schubert , comme bien peu sait nous toucher , exalter en nous une sorte de nostalgie divine ,

Wonderfull interpretation!!! Great Ensemble!!! Bravi!!!

god...the 2nd movement sounds really like his impromptu op.142 no.3....I'm kind of feel warm and a little sad for Schubert when knowing the time he compose them OwQ

Cómo ya he dicho. Esa música se compone,especialmente en el Alma ,Ahí está la virtud. Por eso es así.

Really excellent inner parts, and great job overall everyone.

21:44 - most beautiful music ever

beautiful. THanks for sharing this.

A close to perfect rendition of a sublime piece of music. What's not to like?

Это шедевр мировой классики....

Una obra muy poco difundida de un compositor imprescindible

Who's Loki? RU-vid brought me here, following on from the Quartet 11 I had requested. This is a very fine performance, almost introverted and gentler in overall quality than most. There are other more dramatic ways of doing it but this is worth treasuring.

Beautiful, bravo.

Whew cant breath... perfectly done :)

The second movement sounds very similar to his impromptu, Op. 142 No. 3, composed 3 years later. Also, I love the sequence at 11:57

I can't listen to this without thinking of Loki's model walk.

One of the three great quartets of Schubert. The quartet in D minor is more dramatic. The quartet in G major is more complex from a formal point of view. Thsi one reaches a psychological equilibrium, some sort of resignated sadness with rays of hope.

You have 13% of merit for looking after this if you heard it in that movie, and you should be thankful, its the only thing of this magnitude you'll ever heard

Si digo que es sublime quedo corto.

Thank You!!

Excellent performance with great concentration on the emotional shadings in the quartet. Thank you for the video.

Esto era lo que queria encontrar!

I came here alone.

maravilhoso

Akira Mizubayashi'nin Can Kırığı adlı eserinde defalarca karşıma çıkan bu eser beni çok etkiledi. Tabii kitabın kendisi de.❤

01:12 Loki smashing

"A 97-Year-Old Philosopher Faces His Own Death" (that video's 10.22'nd second) brought me here... It matches with Andantte part of this video. (14:10)

Great soundtrack for the Avengers (2012)

Thumbs up If Loki's handsome appereance brought you here!

Loki!!!!!

loki thank you

Nice!

This is divine inspiration. God gifted some extraordinary people to write His music during that period of history, both here and abroad. It was a time when God was honored and respected, so he returned the honor and respect by inspiring people, both men and women, to write Heaven's music on Earth.
