Schubert: Quintet D956

The String Quintet in C major, D 956, Op.163, was composed during the summer of 1828, two months before his death, and is Schubert’s final instrumental work.

I love the whole piece, but particularly the second Adagio movement, it is like an exchange of intimate confidences.
