Beethoven - String Quartet op. 130 - Cavatina

[VoicelessReason]

One of the most brilliant pieces of music I've ever listened to

[fwifepoop1]

The sadness seems to end at 3:42 but it doesn't last long. Genius Beethoven.

[Devanatha]

Please stop calling this a "song", people. I hear no voices, nor words. Do you? It is a movement from a string quartet. A piece of music. A composition.

[santoslaguna13rsm]

they should not put an ad to this song. this is the best song i have heard of beethoven

[CuriosityRoads]

Music like this can only be the creation of a noble soul.

[santoslaguna13rsm]

el mejor movimiento que he escuchado de beethoven en un cuarteto.

[teresa2610]

sin dudas, es la mejor interpretación de esta obra

[teresa2610]

a partir de 2:00 es lo mas bonito

[teresa2610]

me hace llorar, es indescriptible lo que siento cuando la escucho.

Beethoven es la persona que mas admiro en el mundo.

this will last over a million years thanks to the voyager probe record

[keizerjoo]

This is to be played in heaven . . . . .

[orphyborphy]

This causes me to forget to spend time being annoyed with the stupid people everyone encounters every day.

[keizerjoo]

@orphyborphy It's sure is, my dear fellow or lady. Nothing matters anymore. Kind regards from Holland.

[orphyborphy]

@keizerjoo Well said :)

[everyoneisgolden]

as heard in space

[Snezhinka9]

Beethoven admitted that he himself cried when he heard this. Heard it in his head, for he was deaf by then...

[Midases]

When I become President of the Universe it will be illegal to not like this.....................Beeth­oven's string quartet in B flat major op. 130, cavatina: adagio molto espressivo

[Twjdfa]

Al llegar a esta obra meditas,lloras o lloras,la absolución en perfecta armonia....

[TheSoulOfGenius]

Made me cry.

[raicesrondalla]

que hermosa melodia............

[Snezhinka9]

I prefer this to be played a little slower - I think this is a little too fast.

[Angrybigrock]

Beethoven's assistant at the time, Karl Holz said that this was Beethoven's favorite piece that he had wrote, as well when he listened to it he wept.

[Deliverfromevil]

@Angrybigrock except he was deaf I thought, but I know what you mean

[vonspre]

Soooooo sad

[kaitlinlara]

The section that begins around 3:45 is possibly the most beautiful bit of music I've ever heard...I must have listened to just that little section hundreds of times.

[TheSoulOfGenius]

@kaitlinlara Listen to the Mozart concerto fro Flute cello and harp. That in my opinion is the most beautiful thing ever composed.

[lewars1912]

Dorias77 I have a book published in 1964 called "Fifty Famous Composers" in which the author Gervase Hughes says " The cavatina from the string quartet op.130 and the lento from op.135 remain rare examples of music which bridges the gap between earth and heaven: listening to these sublime strains might surely bring comfort and hope to an anxious soul at the dread moment when it is about to pass from the measurable known to the limitless unknown."

[Dorias77]

This is the song played when one enters heaven.

[grunfeld2312]

for me, it is the last few minutes of Mahler's 2nd symphony. but yes, this music is fitting as well ;)

[coreymitchelhoulden]

@Dorias77. It would, if Heaven actually existed.

[StrongHeartLives]

@coreymitchelhoulden well, since it was sent into space maybe the phrase is "played when entering the heavens"..

[kaktisbalaktikakel]

@Dorias77 I hope so
