It ends with a melancholy movement where Tristan and Isolde is briefly quoted in the cello. The lengths of various sections and metronome markings are largely dictated by manipulations of the numbers 23 and 10, and the sequence A, B-flat, B, F is derived from the names of the subjects. It takes its title from a work composed by Alexander von Zemlinsky, and along with the Kammerkonzert, it marks the composer's transition to use of the twelve-tone system. Depicting the composer's adulterous affair with Franz Werfel's sister Hanna Fuchs-Robettin, for 10 points, name this 1927 work in six movements for string quartet, by Alban Berg.
