Mendelssohn composed his Sixth Quartet after the death of his sister (1847), while Shostakovich dedicated his Seventh Quartet to the memory of his first wife. Both works are imbued with a sense of loss for a loved one, the pain of the void they leave behind, and the need to externalize this pain redemptively through music.
