Beethoven - String Quartet No.13, Op.130 (Color-Coded Analysis)

[giuliaaccogiulia]

The olive stuff for sure is not a theme..how can u call it so??? is just the closing section of the 2theme...I dont think this analysis can be reliable...

@giuliaaccogiulia This analysis is from Alan Rich's "Play by Play" book. Actually I disagree with some of his choices also, but I didn't bother to correct it. Someday I'll do my own analysis and redo all these videos...

Booooooo, I want the Grosse Fuge.

@TrevRockOne I already did the GF - TWICE!

@lvbandmore I want it as part of the String Quartet No. 13, as it is meant to be. It's been out of fashion to have that alternate ending as part of SQ 13 for a century now. 1820's audiences couldn't take the Grosse Fuge: they were pussies, but we can!

Really I just want a full recording of the original SQ 13, sans alternate ending, because there isn't one online yet. Ya know, for sharing.

[lvbandmore]

@TrevRockOne Oh yeah. I hear you. Personally I always play 133 as part of 130, and then I think of the new finale as a kind of "bonus track". Ah well..maybe next time.

[TrevRockOne]

@lvbandmore Haha, yeah, same here. The alternate finale is good and all, but the op. 130 ending with the Grosse Fuge is just tectonic in scale.

Any plans on analysing any of the other late quartets in full, or perhaps the Razumovsky's? These videos have really helped me appreciate the music more.

[lvbandmore]

@CuriosityRoads I'll get around to them eventually, day job obligations are really getting in the way haha

I had never heard the first or third movements before, and now I realize how much I love them. Thank you so much for this video.
