Schumann's Second String Quartet

Schumann composed for piano for ten years, but wanted more. He wrote to his wife Clara: "The piano is becoming too confining for me; I hear all sorts of things I can barely touch." Schumann delved into scores by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, but primarily studied Mendelssohn's quartets. Schumann's Second String Quartet , the one closest to Mendelssohn, is in perfect hands with the Quatuor Van Kuijk, which received rave reviews for its complete Mendelssohn recording.
