More than three years lie between the inception of the three quartets op. 59 (1806) and the quartet op. 74 (1809\/10). In the quartets op. 59, Beethoven sprinkled several Russian folksong themes - an homage to Prince Razumovsky, who had commissioned the works.This is why the pieces are often called the Russian Quartets. The next quartet, op. 74 in E flat major, was also given a nickname: thanks to extended pizzicato passages in the first movement, it is frequently called the Harp Quartet. The F minor Quartet op. 95, in turn, bears the autograph title Quartett serioso. All five quartets are mature masterworks which demand high interpretative and technical mastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInventory # :  51480268\u003cbr\u003e\nUPC:  884088174644\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN:  \u003cbr\u003e\nWidth:  9.25\"\u003cbr\u003e\nLength:  12.25\"\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight:  0.824\"\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct Weight:  2.1 lbs.\u003cbr\u003e\nNumber of Pages:  246\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henle Urtext Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49378932359462,"sku":"51480268","price":106.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/a0278493-f31f-57d6-9548-accd6733c3f5.jpg?v=1723593817","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/ludwig-van-beethoven-string-quartets-op-59-74-95","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
