ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Episode 11 of Tim The Composer's podcast, with host Tim Benjamin, features Schubert's String Quartet number 14 in D minor, better known as "Death and the Maiden". The name comes from an earlier song by Schubert, which is also explored, along with Schubert's tragically short life. Schubert - and the Romantics in general - were obsessed with Death as a seducer, even as a lover, in a tradition going back centuries, and it's a topic visited by Schubert many times in his music. Tim explores the music and the tradition in detail, and as usual there is a playlist to accompany the episode.
