String Quartets op. 127 in E-flat major / op. 131 in C-sharp minor

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Cleveland Quartet

String Quartets Op. 127 in E-flat major and Op. 131 in C-sharp minor are late-period string quartet compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1825 and 1826 respectively. They exemplify Beethoven's late style, featuring expanded harmonic language, intensified contrapuntal complexity and unconventional formal designs, with Op. 131 in particular presented as a continuous multi-movement work that signalled a significant development in the chamber-music repertoire and new directions in harmonic and structural practice.
