Four Pieces for String Quartet (Mendelssohn)
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2024) |
Felix Mendelssohn wrote four pieces for string quartet that were published together as his “Opus 81” after his death. They have at times wrongly been presented as a single work, even as his “String Quartet No. 7”:
- Tema con variazioni (Andante sostenuto) in E Major, Op. 81/1, written in 1847;
- Scherzo (Allegro leggiero) in A Minor, Op. 81/2, also from 1847;
- Capriccio (Andante con moto) in E Minor, Op. 81/3, from 1843; and the earlier[1]
- Fugue (A tempo ordinario) in E-flat Major, Op. 81/4, written in 1827.
