String Quartets, Volume 9: Op. 132

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Alexander String Quartet

String Quartets, Volume 9: Op. 132 is a late-period string quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1825. The work is a representative example of late-classical chamber music, characterised by dense counterpoint, expansive and introspective slow movements, striking harmonic shifts and formal experimentation, and it forms part of Beethoven's final cycle of quartets that influenced subsequent developments in chamber repertoire.

First released: 1st January 1998
