@thebloads - That is a really good question- I'm not sure- he would have had a chance to read some of his works before his death. Schopenhauer certainly appreciated Beethoven's music. I do believe that Beethoven made reference to eastern philosophy having some effect on him- that being a similarity. I dunno- always trying to link up my favorite thinkers and artists. I can see how a work like the this quartet would spawn such a question.
For me it's always the same with the Emersons. They are virtuosos and very good designers of music but there is not really much more happening within (this movement as well) except tempo and the dynamics.

I've always found their interpretations wonderful—especially their Ives quartets. Gorgeous. And this is a correct tempo.
