This short piece is certainly disconcerting, as we have not been able to find more movements from what appears to be a string quartet of great beauty. Its sounds evoke the slow movements of Beethoven’s late quartets, and the tonal qualities found in the chamber works of Schubert or Mendelssohn, straddling the line between classicism and romanticism.

In this fragment of the quartet, a motif formed by the notes G3 – G4 – D4 – B3 – B3 – A3 is repeated several times from bar 36 and develops rhythmically until it is revisited in bars 62-63, where a progression featuring chromaticism in the cello begins, leading to the conclusion of the work.
