Does this quartet belong in the category compositions in C major? ("It concludes on a C major chord" is not sufficient evidence. So does Beethoven's 5th symphony, and Bruckner's 8th, and quite a lot of works in C minor. For that matter, Schoenberg's piano concerto concludes on something very like a C major chord- one indeed, iirc, closer to being a C major chord than some other works that are, according to their composers, in C major (not counting here works in C that end in other keys and/or modes, I mean, just referring to added-notes, &c&c.)) The definition has more to do with how a work begins (or at least, by tradition, how its first "fast portion" is tonally-centred...) than with how a work ends... still, my memory needs recharging- will listen to the quartet again very soon- perhaps the first movement _is_ clearly (enough, for that period of Szymanowski's music!...) in C major and I'm raising dust about nothing (sorry...)

"C major"?
Does this quartet belong in the category compositions in C major? ("It concludes on a C major chord" is not sufficient evidence. So does Beethoven's 5th symphony, and Bruckner's 8th, and quite a lot of works in C minor. For that matter, Schoenberg's piano concerto concludes on something very like a C major chord- one indeed, iirc, closer to being a C major chord than some other works that are, according to their composers, in C major (not counting here works in C that end in other keys and/or modes, I mean, just referring to added-notes, &c&c.)) The definition has more to do with how a work begins (or at least, by tradition, how its first "fast portion" is tonally-centred...) than with how a work ends... still, my memory needs recharging- will listen to the quartet again very soon- perhaps the first movement _is_ clearly (enough, for that period of Szymanowski's music!...) in C major and I'm raising dust about nothing (sorry...)
