Russian chamber music is a younger growth than Russian opera or Russian orchestral music. Glinka's essays in this genre have failed to keep a place in the repertoire, and it may be said that serious Russian chamber music begins with Tchaikovsky's first 'two quartets (1871 and 1874) and Borodin's magnificent Quartet in A (1875).
Borodin's Second Quartet in D was written four or five years after its predecessor and published only after the composer's death in 1887. It is a delightful thing, as full of limpid melody
-' linked sweetness long drawn out '— as anything of Schubert's. The third movement, a languorous nocturne, is often played as a separate piece. The finale is definitely stamped as Borodin's by the opening theme on the lower strings ; it is marked by the same peculiar little melodic twist as the opening theme of his B minor Symphony.
