There is a good reason why Brahms did not publish string quartets until he was 40 years old, since the genre was considered the supreme discipline of chamber music. The two quartets op. 51 are said to have been preceded by many futile attempts. Then, however, Brahms had found his own tone, which combined the linking to historical models (Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn) with new techniques, above all the developing variation. The highly expressive quartets op. 51, both in minor, were followed only two years later by the B-flat major quartet op. 67. More friendly in expression, it is just as densely worked as its predecessors – incidentally, it was composed in Ziegelhausen.<\/p>\n
