and from the Composers Datebook:
On this day in 1826 was the premiere of Schubert's String Quartet in D
minor, "Death and the Maiden," as a unrehearsed reading at the Vienna
home of Karl and Franz Hacker, two amateur musicians. Schubert, who
usually played viola on such occasions, could not perform since he was
busy copying out the parts and making last-minute corrections.
