Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Kodály Quartet

String Quartets, Vol. 3: Op. 18, nos. 5 and 6 is a set of early string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, published in 1801. Composed during his early period, these works inhabit the Classical chamber-music tradition while exhibiting increased motivic development, sharper rhythmic drive and adventurous harmonic turns that foreshadow his later advances in quartet writing.
