The Late Quartets

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Cleveland Quartet

The Late Quartets are a set of late string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1824 and 1826. They are complex and largely introspective chamber works that use advanced harmonic language, extended forms, dense counterpoint and wide dynamic range, and they were written near the end of Beethoven's life, closing his chamber music output.
