Webern's New Quartet

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 March 2010

Extract

Anton Webern's String Quartet, Op. 28 (1938), is in three movements, the structural elements of which are related to classical forms. The first movement is designed as an adagio (ternary form), the second is a kind of scherzo and trio en miniature, in which neither part contains a second section or development. The third movement is an elaborate scherzo form without trio.
