String Quartet op. 132 & op. 135

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Melos Quartett

String Quartets Op. 132 and Op. 135 are late string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1825 and 1826. They exemplify Beethoven's late-period chamber music through concentrated motivic development, expanded harmonic language, intricate counterpoint and striking contrasts of mood and form, and they form part of the composer's final experiments with quartet structure and expression.
