The String Quartet No. 13 in B♭ major, op. 130, by Ludwig van - TopicsExpress



          

The String Quartet No. 13 in B♭ major, op. 130, by Ludwig van Beethoven was completed in November 1825. Its original form consisted of six movements totalling approximately 50 minutes, as follows: I. Adagio ma; non troppo -- Allegro (0:00 - 15:12) II. Presto (15:14 - 17:11) III. Andante con moto, ma non troppo. Poco scherzoso (17:13 - 24:04) IV. Alla danza tedesca. Allegro assai (24:06 - 28:01) V. Cavatina. Adagio molto espressivo (28:03 - 35:04) VI. Große Fuge (Grande Fugue Op.133): Ouverture. Allegro -- Meno mosso e moderato -- Allegretto -- Fuga. [Allegro] -- Meno mosso e moderato -- Allegro molto e con brio -- Allegro (35:06 - 51:23) After the works first performance, mixed reactions and his publishers suggestion convinced Beethoven to substitute a different final movement, one much shorter and lighter than the enormous Große Fuge. This recording is the original version.
