String Quartets op. 127, op. 131, op.132, op. 135, minuet from op 18, no. 5

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Budapest String Quartet

This collection of string quartets is by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1798 and 1826. They range from an early-classical minuet to the late quartets' introspective, harmonically adventurous and contrapuntally dense writing, illustrating a progression from conventional forms to the concentrated, formally innovative style of his late period and marking a pivotal development in chamber-music practice.
