String Quartet No. 3 (beethoven)




According to Steinberg, this is "the gentlest, most consistently lyrical work Opus 18 " (Steinberg, p. 159), except for the fourth movement, in which "Beethoven first explores the idea of shifting the center of gravity toward the end of a multimovement work." (Steinberg, p. 163).
