Wunderbarer Beethoven !

Eine Sternstunde der klassischen Musik! Wer sich die Zeit nehmen will, dieses Quintett mehrmals zu hören, wird immer neue Schönheiten darin entdecken. Und: Absolut brillante Interpreten! Sie spielen die gesanglichen Passagen nicht nur betörend schön, sie lassen in manchen Details einen "musikalischen Witz" funkeln, dass es einfach begeistert.

chaque oeuvre de beethoven nous démontre qu une existence serait trop courte pour savourer toute la magie des partitions du maître de bonn, merci aux musiciens

Quite by chance, I "discovered" this quintet about a year ago. Since then, I 'd played it very often on my MP3. I never cease to wonder how it is that I've never heard of it, much less heard it. It is absolutely magnificent and is played here with the delicacy and the humor (I believe: for example, 29:42-29:58 and 32:10-32:24)) that Beethoven imbued it. The players all, as one, enhance the joy of listening with their exquisitely delightful performance. Somehow, I fancy that Beethoven brought this masterpiece to Old Haydn, tossed it on the old man's escritoire and said "I think you'll have to admit, Herr Haydn, that I have arrived!" And Haydn, glancing at the score jealously muttered, "So you have; so you have, Young Beethoven. One day I shall pass my mantel to you." Beethoven then nodded, but to himself said: "I am already wearing it, Papa."

I like this and will be listening to it many times. Surprising for a Beethoven work that while obviously very well composed, it's developments, or sections, lines, thematic arcs, whatever you want to call them, are more fluid and long-phrased than typical later Beethoven, where contrast is so highlighted and often sharp and extremely animated. Fate isn't knocking on the door here, it's not even in the neighborhood. Nice work, Ludwig, you're well on the way at this point.

my halftime show.

Near the end of his life Beethoven was concentrating most on the tenth symphony, Requiem, Overture, and a string quintet.

It is generally considered that the string quintets are (with the quintet with clarinet) the apex of Mozart's chamber music, while the string quartets are the apex of Beethoven's. Nevertheless, Mozart wrote many beautiful quartets, and Beethoven wrote a quintet: this one. The work is entirely worthy of Beethoven's signature. Simply, Betthoven preferred the four voices of the string quartet to express his visions. At least we have this quintet, his unique and worthy contribution to a genre which includes many masterworks.Beethoven wrote this work at his beginnings in 1801. After that, he devoted himself to the string quartet, which was probably more suitable to his inspiration. There was also the competition of the six quintets of Mozart. This quintet is a work of the young Beethoven; he cannot challenge with these works of his elder admired colleague. The only quintet with two altos which can compete with those of Mozart is probably the op. 111 of Johannes Brahms. Nevetheless, this work of the young Bethoven is firmly constructed, and has features of its own which reveal the style of Bethoven, still in formation at that time.

I totally disagree since this quintet by the master has stood the test of time in the evolution of Beethoven's creativity and and it contains many melodic and forward looking modulations that influenced many later composer as to say that it is lesser than Mozarts' quintets is a mere personal taste not necessarily based on artistic creative assessments since Beethoven has turn his back on quintets for quartet composition it does say something very profound to serious music lovers 🤴

@@prof.jasonsaid2718 Of course not - it is not a matter af personal taste. it is based upon strict architectural and harmonic musicologic criteria. This does not mean that this quintet is not excellent. It certainly ranks among the best ones in the musical story, together s with the 6 written by Mozart and the op. 111 by Brahms, adding of course the quintet with two cellos by Schubert. The quartets of Beethoven are by far the best ones ever written, perhaps with Bartok"s. This can be correlated to Mozart's and Beethoven's writingfor orchestra. If you carefully study these orchestral scores, the altos are n more often divided i two parts in Mozart's scores than in Beethoven's. A famous example is the beginning of G minor 40th symphony by Mozart. This should push conductors to have enough altos in the orchestra, which is not always the case. It should also be noted that the great string quartet writers of the first half of the XXth century (Bartok, Schoenberg, Berg, Webern) never wrote string quintets (one densely contrapunctal string sextet by Schoenberg, his 'Verklarte Nacht op. 4 in D minor).

The Beethoven late quartets are THE best - but they are not usually "accessible" till we have become familiar with a lot of other music (a bit like the late plays of Shakespeare or the poetry of TS Eliot). Among the most accessible chamber music we can take Haydn op 76, Mozart Clarinet Quintet, Beethoven Septet (and then the Rasamouvsky Quartets), Mendelssohn Octet, Brahms Sextets and Clarinet Quintet, Schubert Trout QUintet and Octet. "Live" performances of Shostakovich String Quartets are very exciting but "harder" on youtube. But chamber music is an inexhaustible field.

Il secondo movimento di questo quintetto è uno dei brani più squisitamente mozartiani mai scritti da Beethoven.

This is the unique example of a string quintet in Beethoven's work, following the six masterpieces written by Mozart. One can generally see that Beettoven reduced the number of genres written as long as time ran. In the XXth century, Onlsow wrote a lot of quintets. thier qualiity is respectable, but the only true masterpieces are thq quintet of Schubert (for two cellos), the two by Mendelssohn and the two by Brahms.

It may not be unique. The 2-cello string quintet arrangement of the Kreutzer Sonata was published without attribution after Beethoven's death, but most scholars believe it was Beethoven himself who arranged it. Nice performance here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZ9sxZOnmaa5dsY.html

😊

credo che ci sia un altro quintetto scritto da Beethoven ( op 4). Lo puoi trovare su yt. Comunque concordo. I quartetti sono di gran lunga superiori, specie gli ultimi ma anche l'op 18 si difende bene!:)

Like Mozart that wrote his Quintets K 515 and K 516 after having completed the Haydn Quartetts and the Hoffmeister, Beethoven wrote this Quintet after having completed the Quartets op 18. A very interesting work, clearly influenced by the K 515 in the same Key, the structure of first movement and the melodic line of the first theme are almost similar. The greatest difference is in the final movement that is pure Beethoven. This Quintett in turn influenced the Schubert C Major's but unlike Mozart's and Beethoven's that used two violas, Schubert used two Cellos giving a darker and more dramatic tone to his music.

by the way you play nice cello, sorry do not mean to insult your style it really adds the bottom wonderfully . . . just a viola lover .

*Beethoven's String Quintet* Quite as profound, mysterious, glorious and probing as anything else he ever wrote - and better than most of them - or as good! There is something of Mozart's C Major Quintet there, and a lot of Haydn.

My family is playing this once prepared. Brother David,cello,Me, viola, Dad, John viola, Sister Anna, violin 2, Mother Carol, violin 1 Isn't that cool

You can hear it at Jerusalem YMCA Thursday 29th August

I haven't heard this piece in ages. Energetic early Beethoven at his best. (And tweaking the "rules", like the second theme of the first movement being in the "wrong" key -- A instead of G.) You really have to ask why this piece is not played as often as, say, the Mozart or Schubert quintets. Yeah, I know about Beethoven's quartets being the Everest of classical music and all that, but isn't there room for one more? I mean, all you gotta do is hire another violist...

- Excellent sound! In some passages i might believe they're using gut strings... Also pleased to listen to other than the usual Quartets, ok, a prestigious curent of Works in Classical tradition, but i find the "one-way" preference a lot of "old-school" critics has accorded to it as a bit "prevaricative" in respect to other combinations such as this one.

There are parts of the last movement that sound very operatic. There are tremolos in the violas and cello sounding very orchestral. It almost sounds like a Rossini operatic overture. Lots of emoting with pauses and sudden fortissimos and lots of drama.
