Mendelssohn wrote his volatile, gut-wrenching F-Minor String Quartet, Op. 80, shortly after his sister Fanny died and only months before his own demise. Schubert’s final quartet—No. 15 in G Major—moves between sunny major-key and darkly ambiguous minor-key music. The Artemis Quartet performs both of these valedictory, quintessentially Romantic works.
