(the French romantic composers all blur together to me)

my vote is the Schumann Am SQ

Schubert is a classical composer, so no whining about his exclusion

Joe Brahms. Either Op. 51/2 or Op. 67

Dvorak, followed by... Borodin?

With Dvorak it's Op. 106.

and what is Janáček, chopped liver?

For me a bit of a tie between Dvořák's G major and Mendelssohn's A minor. With a good word put in for Brahms's Op. 51/1 which is really underrated.

the SQs were written in the 1920s, a little outside of the time frame here

Brahms but really it is very close between him and Dvorak.

I like Brahms's quartets but Dvorak's last two set the bar cloud-city high.


Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Your keyboard lacks the letters s c h u b e r and t?

I've always considered Schubert "transitional", for lack of a better word. But more romantic than classical.

How did Reger get on the list, but not Borodin or Smetana?  And "some Frenchie stuff" just won't do.

I'm counting the Mendelssohn octet as two quartets :D . So, I voted for him.
Beethoven's Op. 133 -- A fugue so bad that even Beethoven himself called it "Grosse".

Dvorak F major Op.96 "American"
