Streichquartette op. 18/1-5, op. 59/3

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven

Streichquartette op. 18/1-5, op. 59/3 is a collection of string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1798 and 1806. The works bridge his early classical manner and his middle-period innovations, combining classical forms and contrapuntal clarity with expanded harmonic language, increased motivic development and more demanding interplay among the four instruments, reflecting an important stage in the evolution of the string quartet repertoire.
