String Quartets nos. 10 & 11

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Ehnes Quartet

String Quartets Nos. 10 and 11 are a pair of string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1809 and 1810. They are chamber works for string quartet that move Classical-period forms toward greater harmonic tension and a concentrated, sometimes terse expression, and they come from the transition between Beethoven's middle and late compositional periods.

First released: 29th October 2021
