The "Late" Quartets

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Tokyo String Quartet

The Late String Quartets are a set of chamber works by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed between 1824 and 1826. They are late-period works in the classical quartet tradition that use extended forms, dense harmonic language, complex counterpoint and unconventional structures, and they conclude Beethoven's output in the quartet genre.
