Brahms's First String Sextet became very popular after its publication in 1861, yet his publisher Simrock still hesitated when the composer offered him a second such work in 1865, 'in the same cheerfu...

Each of these four-movement works is a real jewel. Mozart worked hard on these six string quartets, and dedicated them to none other than the 'inventor' of the genre himself: Joseph Haydn. They were f...
