Utterly phenomenal performance. Brooklyn Rider's modern take on one of the great quartets is contextually driven by innovative exploration into new pieces written for them by modern composers. Nothing short of stunning.

Do I hear a Bartok quattor, but then 21st century styled?

[@jaspernatchez]

No harmony. No melody. No rhythm. No meter. Plenty of drones, trills, and slides. Is this really what Mr. Beethoven would have anticipated for 21st century music?

[@stevesiegelbaum3534]

From what I know of Beethoven, the greatest visionary in all of music, the answer would be YES!

@@stevesiegelbaum3534 One must therefore conclude that of Beethoven, you don't know much.
