It's an education to listen to them both, side by side.  The Romance has
a magical quality.  The quartet movement lags ...  and know that I am a
huge Dvorak fan.  This movement just does not do well in comparison with
the huge emotional effect of the Romance.  How super to have two works
with similar musical material by the same composer to compare.
