| Naxos essentials | Ludwig van Beethoven's quartets followed in the lineage of Haydn and Mozart. From this background he developed the genre to the point where many consider that it achieved its peak of perfection. The isolation created by his impaired hearing from the early 1820's, gave birth to the inner depth of the Opus 132 quartet, a work that transcends time and place, creating a new sound-world for the composers that were to follow him. To his cycle of quartets, Beethoven added a transcription of his Piano Sonata in E, one of his best-known sonatas. Beethoven added a subtle use of the string quartet's colours to create a new attractive score. |
