String Quartet in F major, op. 18 no. 1 / String Quartet in G major, op. 18 no. 2

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Maggini Quartet

String Quartet in F major, Op. 18 No. 1 and String Quartet in G major, Op. 18 No. 2 are early string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, published in 1801. They are rooted in classical forms, feature lyrical themes, contrapuntal passages, abrupt dynamic contrasts and varied textures, and they come from Beethoven's early period when he worked within quartet conventions while he explored larger-scale structure and stronger rhythmic drive.
