1) Kaiser Quartet (Haydn Op 76, No 3, Allegro (movement 1)). Doesn't last long, but worth it. Kind of bagpipy. Is it "Hungarian" or "Scottish"? Even the Poco Adagio ("Deutschland, Deutschland...") has the got the drone on, particularly at the end.
2) Shostakovitch, Prelude and Fugue in G minor ("beautifully lyrical piece of free-ranging plasticity"). Previously blogged and flickred, but who's keeping track, anyway. S turns off the drone midway, and blows it. S tends to run out of ideas, and mess things up. IMHO.
3) Mozart String Quartet in C K465 Dissonance, finale. Hmmm...must listen to that again. I can only remember the opening of the K465 off the top of my head.
4) Beethoven, Razumovsky SQs, somewhere (where?).
So, find the Mozart Dissonance.
