String Quartet No. 11 (Dvořák)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonín Dvořák composed his String Quartet No. 11 in C major, Op. 61, B. 121, some time between late October and early November 1881 to fulfill a commission from the Hellmesberger Quartet.
The string quartet contains four movements and lasts around 30 minutes. Two themes based on a polonaise for cello and piano, B. 94, written two years earlier, reappear in the spirited scherzo of the third movement.
