nberger's string quartets
combine rich sonority and
the art of variation,
following in the
footsteps of Schumann and
Mendelssohn, with
Rheinberger's feeling for
form, melodic beauty and
contrapuntal mastery; his
attitude to the musical
movements of his time is
suggested in his first
String Quartet, now
published in a scholarly
edition, through such
things as the quotation,
probably to be understood
ironically, from the
Prelude to Wagner's
Tristan in the last
movement.
