String Quartet No.7 in A minor Op.16 (Parts)

Dvorak String Quartet No.7 in A minor Op.16 (Parts)

Quartet Op.16 (written in 1874) is the first chamber work from a period in the composer's creative development in which he gradually extricated himself from the influence of German Neo Romanticism and began to work towards a more simplified and compact form and towards his own distinctive expression.

Quartet No.7 is a testimony of the composer's successful attempts at purity of form, clarity and flawless treatment.  This work has a special position in Dvorak's chamber oeuvre: it was the first of his chamber pieces to come out in print.
