Completed and premiered in 1974, the String Quartet No. 15, Op. 144, was Dmitri Shostakovichs final work for string quartet. It is also the longest of those works, containing six Adagio movements, all of which are connected. It is a dark, melancholy piece, reflecting the mood of the ailing composer, who would die the year after the premiere. This item is a full score only; parts sold separately.
