About This Song

About "Schubert: String Quartet No. 15 in G Major, Op. Posth. 161, D. 887: IV. Allegro assai" by Artemis Quartet

Schubert's final quartet ends in a whirlwind of rustic fury. The Allegro assai is a stampede, Artemis Quartet tearing through its obsessive rhythms with wild, unbuttoned energy. It's joy and dread fused together—a peasant dance at the edge of a cliff, exhilarating and terrifying in equal measure.
