This string quartet by a grand master of the German avant-garde combines a decidedly traditional four-movement structure with experimental situations in the concert hall. In various sections the performers act on revolving stools, in others they take positions at the edge and in the corners of the platform or around the listeners. However, the composer also allows a performance in a conventional seating arrangement which emphasizes the work's classical nature with regard to material and form even further.

Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) was a Danish musician, often seen as his country's greatest composer, who now occupies a distinguished platform in the national and cultural heritage of his native land. The Carl Nielsen Edition is an independent project which aims to publish all of his finished works, in the version last approved by the composer. The Quartet for Strings in G minor (Op. 13) is the earliest of Nielsen's four published quartets, having been composed in 1887-1888, but it was not published for over a decade. It comprises four movements: Allegro Energico - Andante Amoroso - Scherzo. Allegro Molto - Finale. Allegro (Inquieto) .
