The Artisan String Quartet presents two great string quartets by composers known for their beautiful melodies and dramatic flair. Franz Schubert and Felix Mendelssohn were contemporaries during the Romantic era of music in Vienna in the early 19th century, and both composed music that is beloved to this day. Each also died young but still managed to leave a lasting imprint on the history of chamber music with their compositions.
