Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Ehnes Quartet

String Quartet No. 13 in B-flat major, Op. 130 is a string quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1825 with its original final movement published separately in 1827 as Op.133. The work is part of Beethoven's late quartets and has chromatic harmonies, dense counterpoint, sudden contrasts of mood and an extended fugue that challenged contemporary ideas about quartet form and influenced later chamber music practice.
