Streichquartette Nos. 12, 16

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Alban Berg Quartett

Streichquartette Nos. 12 and 16 are string quartet compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1824 and 1826. They exemplify Beethoven's late-period quartet style, characterised by dense counterpoint, exploratory harmonic language, abrupt shifts in mood and formally adventurous movements that mark the culmination of his late creative phase and broadened the expressive scope of chamber music.
