Streichquartette Op. 18 Nr. 4 & Op. 131

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Hagen Quartett

Streichquartette Op. 18 Nr. 4 & Op. 131 are string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1798–1800 and 1826–1827 respectively. They contrast Beethoven's early Classical approach—clear forms, balanced phrasing and conventional tonal relationships—with his late-period experimental language, featuring a continuous multi-movement structure, expanded harmonic exploration and increased chromaticism that influenced the development of the string quartet repertoire.
