  3. Oh, Marina – what a tragedy. He had such a gift. I read that he began composing his String Quartet in C-minor in 1898. He had started writing the last moment on the very day of his fatal bicycle accident on June 10, 1899. Thank you for remembering. I am unable to connect with videos on my side of the world,but I am familiar with his music.
