For the “Schubertiades”—gatherings of poetry and music fans held in Vienna and the surrounding region—, Schubert wrote several vocal quartets, which he composed with great care and not without a certain moralizing dimension, to romantic texts evoking life’s little joys, love, solitude, the charms and rigors of nature, the final ends, and the power of spirituality.
