String Quartet in E flat Op. 127 / String Quartet in C sharp Op. 131

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Melos Quartett

String Quartet in E flat major, Op. 127, and String Quartet in C sharp minor, Op. 131 are late string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1825 and 1826. They exemplify Beethoven's late style through extended forms, dense contrapuntal writing, surprising harmonic shifts and introspective slow movements, and they occupy a significant position in his late-period output and in the development of the string quartet repertoire.
