Kindly note that this is a recording dating from 1994, so the cellist at that time was David Finckel, not Paul Watkins who replaced him in 2013.

[@Aristaeuss]

14:00 - 14:15 doesn't that sound like Death and the Maiden? Or rather, doesn't Death and the Maiden sound similar?

[@thatsEforEveryone]

I think I know what you mean

[@olivierdrouin2701]

Et le trio du scherzo,doit on le considérer en pensant à Schubert?

[@crazydogg0996]

Yeah I hear it too! Maybe Death and the Maiden was based on this Beethoven's String Quartet?

[@chenjunqian3283]

17:18 never better

Marvelous!!! I do declare!!

[@olivierdrouin2701]

Le menuet me fait penser au "cabinet de curiosites-chambre des horreurs" d un"aristocrate-serial killer" du XVIII qui s en serait servi comme Agatha Christie s est servi de comptines enfantines(ou Dario argento dans "les frissons de l angoisse")

Quelle interprétation magistrale ! C est qui ?

C'est le quartet d'Emerson.

Meraviglioso e inarrivabile Beethoven!

[@mateusmachado5642]

Genial.

2nd theme 20:44 (choral inspired by Mozart K464 4th mvt at 31.42)

[@olivierdrouin2701]

Pour la reprise du type de fascination propre au k 464 , il y a à aussi , peut être et peut être encore mieux !, la partie lente dans le final de l opus 9 n°1.

[@CFDavid847]

Do we have documented proof of that?

[@dzinypinydoroviny]

It's just a theme in whole notes, that's it. They have nothing more in common.

[@tractotus]

An early Beethoven masterpiece!!

[@stravinskyfan]

If you really think this is masterpiece I guarantee you would like Haydn more.
