Streichquartette op. 18

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Philharmonia Quartett Berlin

String Quartets Op. 18 is a set of six string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, published in 1801. They use Classical-era forms and display increased motivic development, pronounced dynamic contrast, expanded harmonic language and greater structural ambition, and they occupy an early place in Beethoven's chamber music that anticipates his middle-period works.
