Four Pieces for String Quartet (Mendelssohn)
wrote four
pieces
for
string quartet
that were
published
together as his “Opus 81” after his
death
. They have at times
wrongly
been
presented

, even as his “String
Quartet
No. 7”:
Tema
con
variazioni
in E Major
,
Op
. 81/1, written in
1847
;
Scherzo in
A Minor
, Op.
81/2
, also from 1847;
Capriccio
in
E Minor
, Op. 81/3, from
1843
; and the earlier
Fugue
' in
E-flat
Major''', Op. 81/4, written in
1827
.
