Fine Arts Quartet - Beethoven String Quintet Op.104, Finale

excellent

This piece features in Vikram Seth's excellent novel, An Equal Music. Although it's only the 90s the hero has to trawl through libraries and specialist shops to find a rare copy. Now he would only have to go on YouTube...

I completely agree with you, I'm reading that book right now and was curious about this rare "CD" and decided to look for it in the library, and thank the lord I found a CD based on the novel.

Del libro un musica constante !!!!!magnifico

The Viennese composer did transcribe it, but he gave the voices to three strings, supposedly it sounded like shit so beethoven wrote it in five voices instead

Christ, that's beautiful!! Beethoven gives beauty such balls.

BRAVO!

this opus 104 is a reelaboration of the trio op,1 n. 3, it is belived that some vienesse composer was doing this transcription, but Beethoven himself took charge of the task, here we listened to the fourth movement, finale,prestissimo, which recalls Haydn, elegant and free minded, appealing, long live ludwig van
