Thanks, bud! I just got around to downloading this one. This is one of my favorite works for string quartet. I am looking forward to the other portions of this concert, when you do get around to posting it.
Incidentally, have you heard Quatuor Diotima's new recording of this work?

Simon, the great man’s death led me back to this write-up, and I thought I’d better share the following insight…
Having (no doubt belatedly, in many a university-schooled musicologist’s eyes) made the acquaintance of Schubert’s Death and the Maiden quartet, I can reveal that what you (and I) originally took for “a…rendition of Tudor melancholy” is actually a quotation from that work’s slow movement, which consists of variations on the melody/harmony of the Lied of the same name.
