Ludwig van Beethoven - String Quartet no 13 in B Flat Major

Описание

Here begins a series of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. This string quartet is just outstanding and innovative. Beethoven now changes the structure of the string quartet very strongly. He puts the apex of the composition in the end: he composes a massive fugue to end it. And this movement, called "Great Fugue" is a composition ahead its time. Strong dissonances and new sounds. The ending was so hard to understand, that Beethoven was convinced by the publisher to write another end to the audience to understand more. But, I uploaded the version with the Fugue ending, because that's how Beethoven intended to do. The other ending it's posted in another video.
