Aside from some of the more likely suggestions (Schubert, Brahms, and
Richard Strauss come to mind) there are the quartets of Juan Crisostomo
(Jacobo Antonio) Arriaga (y Balzola) written shortly before his death,
which occurred at the age of nineteen years, eleven months and twenty
days.

It makes you wonder what he would have written had he lived to the ripe
old age of 31.
