rhythms are reminiscent of a tarantella, as with that of the previous quartet — which the movement resembles in some capricious qualities. The quartet was first published no later than 1852, by Diabelli of Vienna. Cultural legacy In Woody Allen's 1989 comedy-drama Crimes and Misdemeanors, parts of the Allegro molto moderato (including the dotted rhythm of the opening) are used as a dramatic measure during several scenes that form central parts of the 'crimes' plot. In Gramophone, Stephen Johnson referred to the work as Schubert's greatest string quartet, and speculated that it is heard less frequently than the composer's previous two quartets not because of lower quality but because it is less accessible.
