You mentioned Alban Berg Quartet a few times but never mentioned Alban Berg himself. I just grabbed a 1965 mono recording of the Weller Quartet doing String Quartet Op. 3 and it's really good. It's more atonal than a sonata and I'll just copy my favourite sentence from the back of the record instead of trying to describe it myself.quote:It owes less than one might expect to Schoenberg's second quartet, itself a musical landmark, and uses a more advanced tonal language, intense and romantic, but free from cloying nostalgia. Melodically, the material undergoes far-reaching transformations, while the rhythmic features retain thier identity more fully, despite considerable complexity. The charge that Schoenberg's music lacks formal and rhythmic ingenuity - that he puts new wine into old bottles - can in no sense be levelled at Berg. Also never feel self concious about listening to Gorguts
