String Quartets op. 18 nos. 1-3

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Cleveland Quartet

String Quartets Op. 18 Nos. 1-3 are the first three quartets from the set of six string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, published in 1801. They exemplify Beethoven's early Classical style, drawing on models from Haydn and Mozart while introducing greater rhythmic drive, more adventurous harmonic language and expanded developmental writing that anticipate his later innovations in chamber music.
