Franz Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" quartet is one of the most poignant works in the Romantic repertoire. Composed in 1824, this quartet strikingly explores the themes of life, suffering and the acceptance of death, against a backdrop of overwhelming musical intensity.
In this lecture open to all, Francis Albou, associate professor of musicology, invites you to enter the world of Schubert: historical context, musical analysis and the emotional impact of this sublime work. An invitation to better understand the richness and depth of an emblematic quartet, both dramatic and luminous.
