Berthold Goldschmidt became known with ht opera Der gewaltige Hahnrei. His music was soon banned as ‘entartet’ and in 1935 Goldschmidt decided to flee to England, where he worked for the BBC during the war. Goldschmidt composed his Second String Quartet partly in Germany, partly in England.

Hanns Eisler began collaborating with Berthold Brecht in 1930, resulting in several doctrinal pieces, including Die Massnahme and Die Mutter. In 1933, after the Nazi takeover, his music was banned. For years, he travelled through Europe, the United States and Mexico, until he moved to Hollywood in 1942. He composed his only quartet in 1938 in New York.

Hindemith also composed his Seven String Quartet in the United States. It was intended to be performed with his wife and some students at Yale University and, in its brevity, is both perfect and high quality home music.
