String Quartet No.3 Op.94 though composed at around the same time as Phaedra, has close links with Britten s Death in Venice. The quartet is dedicated to Hans Keller, a personal friend and tireless advocate of Britten, who co-edited with Donald Mitchell the influential New Series of the Music Review in the early 1950s. Keller wrote of the Third Quartet that here the composer had taken that decisive step beyond into the Mozartian realm of the instrumental purification of opera . Britten heard a run-through of this third quartet by the Amadeus Quartet in the library of the Red House in Aldeburgh on 28 September 1976, but he died two weeks before the première at the Snape Maltings on 19 December. Duration: c.28 minutes
