Chamber music composed between 1827 and 1828 by Austrian composer Franz Schubert (17971828). The songlike melody leaves an impression while exuding a Hungarian scent. It is composed in four parts and the whole piece is played continuously. Written in the final year of Schubert's death, this piece was wrapped in a beautiful melody that was typical of Schubert, who was called the "King of Lieds." increase. Sometimes cheerful, sometimes smiling, but sometimes showing a deep darkness. It is a chamber music that can be said to be the culmination of his last years. The first performance was performed by Bochleto on piano and Josef Slavik on violin from Bohemia. The violinist Slavik had an outstanding skill that even Paganini admired. Therefore, this piece was written assuming the performance of Slavik and Bokkureto, and is composed as a piece that is remarkably advanced in terms of performance technology. It is no exaggeration to say that this piece is one of the most difficult pieces for violinists and pianists.
