Schubert first wrote it for voice and piano. Wiki says: The quartet is named for the theme of the 2nd mov., which Schubert took from a song he wrote in 1817 of the same title (..) The quartet has been honored by several transcriptions (..), in 1896 Mahler planned an arrangement for string orchestra and notated the details in a score of the quartet, it was never completed, only the 2nd mov. was written out and played; the modern revival of the arrangement is in a version edited by David Matthews.

The main differences that I hear are with the added bass parts. The score shown is the original for the quartet, not the score for the arrangement, so you don't see these changes. In some places, the basses play an octave below the cellos, others in pizzicatto, and in others they do not play at all. There are also some "solos" added for the violin.

Mahler did an arrangement on this piece because he wanted ''more power'', a bigger impact, and he only arranged some dynamics (pp are mp, ff are f, etc.) and if you listen well, you'll here a much strong bass line, because he added a Double Bass to the main Cello bass. The notes are the same, but the ''depth'' of the sound is much bigger, because there's no only 4 instrument (a normal quartet), instead, there's maybe 20 strings instruments,k aproximately (the romantic Mahlerian orchestra is BIG)

The second movement makes me think of memorable chorales in Bach's cantatas. Very majestic and plain cadences, given with refrain and religious fervor. I could listen to chorales all day long.
Yes, because they touch upon the same range of feelings: the lyrical, the romantic the joyful on one side and the dramatic, the chaotic, and the depressive each with their own style. Beethoven talking to mankind, Schubert talking to man.I particularly like Beethoven's late work (and string quartets), which is apparently Schubert's death bed wish to hear.

Aven cyghfer The music has similar structure though, in the music and the way it is distributed and organized. We have these central figures who are idolized, known as the composers. We indulge their music through the concert halls and it is played by conductors, pianists, orchestras and organists etcetera, all of which play the music that fits within that time period by composers like Bach, Handel, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and Liszt. If somebody was described as a 'classical' pianist, does that imply they only play the music of Mozart? How would you describe to a layman that you listen to Baroque, classical and romantic music without confusing them?
@jamiebadley1172
9 жыл бұрын
Aven cyghfer Hi Aven, I'm actually a music student/composer who has been classically trained so I am aware of all the different periods, but thankyou for clearing that up! I was referring to classical music as the genre; the idea of an orchestrated or scored piece of music involving what we would term traditional instruments, such as the violin, oboe and piano. When i referred to the word 'classical', this is what I meant, 'classical' as opposed to Jazz or Reggae, for example. However, in regards to style, schubert is very much a romantic composer, not just in the way he writes but for whom he writes; he wrote chiefly for himself- as an expression of his emotion. Beethoven also pioneered this idea of expression within classical music, hence why I would personally label him an early romantic. Thankyou though, Schubert is one of my favourite classical/romantic composers and all I wanted to say was how this piece really is one of my favourites! Peace, Jamie

And at 2:11. 2:20 as well. Oh at 4:25 I definitely hear an octave below that open A being played, you can't deny it. Someone's playing an additional bass or cello part that's not being shown on the score.

The arrangement is discernible after a few moments of listening when you should be able to hear that the strings are much richer than the individual numbers in a quartet. I think it's also fairly clear there are double basses playing too - not an instrument usually used in quartets. Not sure why you refer to piano parts as this was a string quartet not a piano quartet/quintet. Wikipedia has limited information about Mahler's incomplete transcription of this work so will keep searching.
