Benjamin Britten has composed two string quartets: No. 1, in D, dates from 1941; No. 2, in C, was written in 1945, in homage to Henry Purcell, and first performed on November 21 of that year at a concert given in London to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Purcell's death. Of the three movements of this Quartet, the first (Allegro calrno senza rigore) is dominated by the interval of a tenth, which is heard a' the outstt; the second (Vivace) is a fleet-footed Scherzo; the last (Sostcnuto) is a Chacony, a favourite form with Purcell himself.
