The Mathilde Album
Quatuor Arod honours the legacy of Mathilde Zemlinsky – later Mathilde Schönberg. The sister of Alexander Zemlinsky and first wife of his friend and student Arnold Schoenberg, Mathilde is the dedicatee of Arnold Schoenberg's String Quartet No. 2, a landmark work completed during the tumultuous year of 1908, when the couple briefly separated. Alexander Zemlinsky's String Quartet No. 2 is also included here, as is Webern's early Langsamer Satz.
