String Quartet, op. 130 / Große Fuge, op. 133

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Brandis Quartett

These late string quartet works by Ludwig van Beethoven were composed in 1825–1826 and published in 1827. They exemplify Beethoven's late-period style through dense contrapuntal writing, expansive formal structures and bold harmonic and rhythmic innovation, and they occupy a significant place in his late chamber music development.
