String Quartets, Volume 6: Quartet, op. 59 no. 3 "Razumovsky" / Quartet in E-flat major, op. 127

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Kodály Quartet

String Quartets, Volume 6 is a collection of string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806 and 1825. The music illustrates Beethoven's movement from vigorous middle-period quartet writing towards the introspective, formally adventurous language of his late style, with expanded harmonic vocabulary, dense motivic development and increased contrapuntal complexity that influenced the subsequent chamber-music repertoire.
