Borodin String Quartet No.2
Brahms String Sextet No.2
Borodin may have been an industrial chemist by profession, but as a composer the melodies he wrote were so beautiful that they were adapted into the musical Kismet, including the famous Nocturne from his Second String Quartet which became the song And This Is My Beloved.
Brahms wrote a kind of love song too in his String Sextet No.2, in the form of a secret musical reference to the name of Agathe von Siebold with whom he was infatuated at the time. But both works remain pure, unadulterated chamber classics.
