String Quartets Op.131 & Op.132

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Alban Berg Quartett

String Quartets Op.131 and Op.132 are late string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1826 and 1825 respectively. They typify Beethoven's late-period chamber writing, employing extended structures, dense counterpoint, abrupt harmonic and mood shifts and concentrated motivic development that reshaped the expressive range of the string quartet in music history.
