String quartet n° 9 of Beethoven

The String quartet n° 9 in major C , opus 59 n° 3, of Ludwig van Beethoven, was composed in 1806 and was published in January 1808. It is the last of the three quartet S dedicated to the prince Andrei Razumovsky of which it bears the name.

This quartet was written like the n° 7 and n° 8 during the very fertile year 1806 which also saw the composition of the Fourth Concerto for piano , of the Fourth Symphony and of the Concerto for violin . It was created by the quartet of Schuppanzigh. It is the only one of the three quartets Razumovsky to be accommodated favorably by criticism: “It must like any spirit cultivated by its original melody and its harmonious power” , wrote a critic of the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung . There incontestably, Beethoven delivered a demonstration of its maturity in the writing for the quartet.

The quartet in major C most powerful and the most are enjoué of the Razumovsky . It is also the only one not to contain a Russian topic. After a mysterious introduction which passes very close to sometimes the Atonalité, the long-lived Allegro of the first movement develops in an exuberant joy. The second movement is tended the most and méditatif. The finale, finally, in a style running away, offers to work a truly unchained conclusion.

It comprises four movements and its execution lasts approximately 30 minutes:

  1. Introduzione: Andante idiot motor bike - Allegro long-lived
  2. Andante idiot motor bike quasi allegretto
  3. Menuetto (Grazioso) & Trio
  4. Allegro molto
