Ludwig van Beethoven – "Finale: Allegro" from String Quartet in B-Flat major, Op. 130
The Miró Quartet – one of America's most celebrated string quartets – represents Emerald City Music and performs one of Beethoven's most monumental works, Op. 130 String Quartet with Op. 133, the Große Fuge ("Grand Fugue"). This work features the ultimate expansion of the string quartet to the possible limits of its scope through its length, compositional complexity, and the emotional depth. Indeed, this piece as a whole was completely unprecedented in its time, and remains truly inimitable in its depth and profundity by any compositions in any genre written by anyone to this day.
