20.04.2013 um 01:31 h Mahler - Quartet for Piano and Strings in A Minor

The work is scored for a usual piano quartet, which consists of a piano, a violin, a viola, and a cello. It is often referred to as Piano Quartet Movement in A minor, since the opening movement is the only one completed. Typical recordings usually last between 11 and 15 minutes.

This quartet is the only extant chamber piece known to be composed by Gustav Mahler (there was a violin sonata of similar date, apparently).The work is incomplete; only the first movement was completely written.However, there exists a 24-bar sketch of a scherzo written in G minor, sometimes paired with the quartet. In 1988 the Russian composer Alfred Schnittke wrote a completion of this movement; he also used the fragment in the second movement of his Concerto Grosso No. 4/Symphony No. 5.

The quartet is heard in Martin Scorsese's 2010 motion picture Shutter Island and is the subject of a short discussion between the movie's characters. Its complete performance by the Prazak Quartet is featured on the movie's double-CD soundtrack.
