String Quartet No. 7 in F major, Op. 59 No. 1, commonly known as the "Razumovsky" Quartet, is a string quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven, published in 1806. The work exemplifies Beethoven's middle-period expansion of classical chamber music through larger-scale movements, increased contrapuntal and motivic development, adventurous harmonic shifts and rhythmic vitality, marking a move toward greater structural ambition and expressive range in his quartets.
