The Middle String Quartets

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Vermeer Quartet

The Middle String Quartets is a set of chamber works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1805 and 1810. The music mixes classical string quartet forms with expanded harmony, bolder rhythmic gestures and greater formal complexity, and it sits in the middle of Beethoven's career between his early style and his later experimental works.
