Sheet music parts for Karl Goldmark's String Quartet Op. 8 (1860), in B flat.
Goldmark's chamber music was highly praised during his lifetime, however is now rarely performed - a great pity as lesser known gem of a quartet deserves to be more widely played and heard!
This is the only string quartet that Goldmark wrote, and is in four movements:
Goldmark was himself a violinist, and the string writing is natural and highly playable throughout. The style is somewhat reminiscent of Mendelssohn's quartet writing and is always well balanced between the four players. There is a lot for audiences and players to enjoy here: in particular the andante movement has some truly beautiful and expressive melodic writing, tinged with sentiment and moments of intense passion.
