Rock on, Louie!

I really love this piece - which string quartet is performing? Thanks!

[voxhunden]

If this represents the music from his later life, I should try to find more from that period. This is a different Beethoven to me, less involved with the crowd, more with the music.

[crosseneric]

@voxhunden I agree its odd that he went out with a bang by writing music not for an orchestra but mostly for solo piano and also for a messily string quartet but by demanding as much as he would a normal orchestra

Finally.

If God was to speak with Beethoven's music.

This piece explains why he forgives us.

En efecto,como apunta nmrd123987 ,Beethoven sordo y al filo de la muerte decide ampliar el horizonte de la musica y al legarnos esta pieza establece un paradigma que es seguido por Mahler,posteriormente por Schoenberg y a partir de aquel ya la musica no tiene un solo sendero,sino muchas bifurcaciones que requieren de estructuras , escritura y modalidades expresivas distintas :muchas de ellas no comprendidas aun,porque plantean retos para gustos esteticos aun anclados en otra epoca...

this is the definitive recording of op 130 by the quartetto italiano. i strongly suggest that any of you who love beethoven and are interested in the late quartets GET THESE RECORDINGS- THEY ARE FAR AND AWAY THE BEST.

An assignment-listen to the music, and all the passion that went in it. Then name one GOOD thing that you loved about the piece. If everything is positive, no one can get offended for their views.

[mandudeone]

he was not writing gods consciousness beauty. According to your Eisteins theory, Beethoven in the grosse fugue was writing about the other half of the ecuation, the humanitys misery and decadence.

[mandudeone]

in the grosse fugue Beethoven was not writting the beauty of gods consciousness, in your Eisteins theory he was writting the other half, the humanitys consciousnes of misery and decadence.

It's a gross piece. Meaning, it's very disinant and complex. It is an aquired taste. It truely is beautiful.

[pbazant]

What was he thinking?

Perhaps the same as Einstein when he was discovering his GTR - that it has to be this way.

This piece is so intense.

[centpushups]

this is too strange what was he thinking when he wrote this

bonne chanson.

[CamoSniper07]

Something like "Fuck I wish I could hear this..."
