Beethoven opened his Op. 18 set with the Quartet in F (1798\/99), written at the behest of his patron and friend, Prince Lobkowicz. Even within the framework of the traditional form, Beethoven's first published quartet achieved a maximum of moods and stylistic variety. Beethoven's Quartet Op. 131 in c (1826), generally perceived as a peak within his chamber music, is entirely different, much more eccentric and \"experimental\". Seven sections of diverse tone and character are played without breaks in-between; a brooding fugue stands alongside a sensitive adagio, a folk tune presto is next to a restless finale. Internationally renowned for their \"extremely mature and lyrical sound\" (Strad), the Quartetto di Cremona grace the stages of the most prestigious venues. Their dedication to their craft is on consistent show through their music-making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Allegro Con Brio \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Adagio Affettuoso Ed Appassionato \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Scherzo: Allegro Molto - Trio \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Adagio Ma Non Troppo E Molto Espressivo \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Allegro Molto Vivace \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Allegro Moderato \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Andante Ma Non Troppo E Molto Cantabile - Più Mosso - Andante Moderato E Lusinghiero - Adagio - Allegretto - \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Presto \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Adagio Quasi Un Poco Andante \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Allegro\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Beethoven \/ Cremona Quartet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41742715879495,"sku":"28168195","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2873595.jpg?v=1749181859","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/beethoven-cremona-quartet-complete-string-quartets-4-super-audio-cd","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
