Streichquartett B-Dur op. 130 / Große Fuge B-Dur op. 133

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Auryn Quartet

Streichquartett B-Dur op. 130 and the Große Fuge op. 133 are late string-quartet works by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1826. They belong to Beethoven's late period and feature dense contrapuntal writing, expanded formal structures, pronounced dissonances and rhythmic complexity that pushed the boundaries of chamber music in the early 19th century.
First released: 1994
