Heard on the Street
Schubert’s string quartet number 13
in A minor
also known as the Rosamunde Quartet
rose two pointson the quartet exchange today,
which differs from most markets
inasmuch as each point occurs in fourths
like a song with two choruses,
a bridge and a final chorus,
or like a football game,
two halves, two quarters per half.
The andante movement itself gained
an extra point in after-hours trading.
— David Lehman
The quartet is from 1824; the overture from 1823.
