Excellent string quartet with lots of colour and variety to it. Movement II is a particular highlight for me with its many extremely playful and fun sections with plucked strings and whatnot. I is far more conventional and grave in tone but is quite sweet in a posh garden party way. III is even more grave, but there is a complete shift towards hopeful vibes mid-movement. Finally IV sounds like the panicked, frantic soundtrack to a severe betrayal, and works quite well as the shortest movement here. Jammed the 1986 Cleveland quartet version because why not. 4.3
