About This Song
About "Shostakovich String Quartet No.8 op.110: Shostakovich String Quartet No. 8, Op. 110: III. Allegretto" by Chilingirian Quartet
A sardonic scherzo from Shostakovich's most personal quartet, the Chilingirian Quartet captures its jagged, mechanical pulse. Beneath the brittle surface lies a haunting unease, as if a clockwork toy is winding down. The Allegretto's forced cheer masks a deeper dread, a dance on the edge of collapse.
