String Quartet No. 14 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 131

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Smetana Quartet

String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131 is the fourteenth string quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1826. The work is a late-period chamber piece in seven interconnected movements, characterised by dense contrapuntal writing, bold harmonic shifts and a continuous, through-composed structure that reflects Beethoven's experimental approach to form and expression near the end of his career.
