Anton Webern came up with the idea of ​​a string quartet in 1905 during a hiking holiday with his cousin Wilhelmine Mörtl, with whom he had fallen madly in love and whom he married in 1911. The work remained a fragment, and Webern only completed the slow movement. This is almost orchestral in nature, the harmony largely tonal, even though Webern certainly explores its limits - but always with references to the sound world of late Romanticism.
