Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Hagen Quartett
String Quartets Op. 18 No. 1 and Op. 59 No. 1 are string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed around 1798–1800 and 1806 respectively. Op. 18 No. 1, from Beethoven's early period, adheres to Classical forms with balanced textures and lyrical quartet writing, whereas Op. 59 No. 1, from his middle period, expands harmonic language, rhythmic drive and formal scale, signalling a shift towards greater structural daring and expressive breadth in his chamber music.
