As Stéphane Goldet writes in the booklet: 'The act of resistance that is the Quartet op.80, written in a single burst during the summer of 1847, it's overwhelming \"No, not that, not her!\" shouted by four instruments for twenty-five minutes, was to be the composer's last completed work. The four movements of this \"confrontation with grief\" (Bernard Fournier) in F minor are to be played con dolore, although that marking never appears in the score.' She goes on to quote Brigitte François-Sappey: 'This \"Requiem for Fanny\" might be called \"Death and the Young Woman\". As in Schubert's last two quartets, the strings shiver in tremolos over ostinato pedals, like death knells.'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Quartet No. 6 in F minor, Op. 80~I.
