String Quartets Op. 130 & 133

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Guarneri Quartet

String Quartets Op. 130 and Op. 133 are late string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1826. They are part of Beethoven's late-period quartet output and are marked by concentrated counterpoint, chromatic harmony, abrupt shifts of tempo and dense polyphonic writing, and they show his move toward expanded forms at the close of his career.
