String Quartet No. 4 (Beethoven)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet No. 4 in C minor was published in 1801 as opus 18, no. 4, and was written between 1798 and 1800. It consists of four movements:

1. Allegro ma non tanto
2. Andante scherzoso quasi Allegretto
3. Menuetto: Allegretto
4. Allegro - Prestissimo

As noted in the program notes of the Hyperion recording and elsewhere, it is thought that this quartet may be in part based upon earlier material [1]. .
