Shostakovich, Dmitri - String Quartet No 5 in B-flat, Op 92 - Parts - DSCH Edition

Like his famous String Quartet No. 8 in c minor, Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 5 in B-flat Major contains the composer's "monogram" - a brief motive based on letters in his name (DSCH). Also similar is the way in which the movements elide, to be played continuously through without a break. The String Quartet No. 5 was composed in 1952 and premiered by the Beethoven Quartet the following year.This edition contains a set of parts for two violins, viola, and cello. Score sold separately.
