String Quartet No. 2 (Borodin)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The String Quartet No. 2 is a string quartet in D major written by Alexander Borodin in 1881. It was dedicated to his wife Ekaterina Protopova. Some scholars, such as Borodin's biographer Serge Dianin, suggest that the quartet was a 20th anniversary gift and that it has a program evoking the couple's first meeting in Heidelberg.[1] Of its four movements, the third movement "Notturno" is the most famous.
