Though he dedicated the Quartet to "victims of fascism and war," in his later memoir, Testimony, Shostakovich said that the Quartet actually described himself. The Adagio of Bruckner's String Quintet was lauded as "the pearl of the quintet […] one of the noblest, most enlightened, tenderest and most beautiful in sound." Tchaikovsky's Andante cantabile is similarly a movement from a string chamber work, which Tchaikovsky arranged for cello and string orchestra.
