Sara Mohr-Pietsch takes us on a musical sightseeing tour to Schubert's string quartet 'Death and the Maiden', one of the outstanding achievements in Western art, and one of the most imaginative and original pieces of classical music ever composed. Along the way, our guide stops to take in the views (and the sounds) of Camille Saint-Saens, Louise Farrenc, Texas Gladden, George Gershwin and Johann Sebastian Bach.
