- "The String Quartet No. 9 in C major, Op. 59, No. 3, was written by Ludwig van Beethoven and published in 1808. This work is the third of three of his "Razumovsky" cycle of string quartets, and is a product of his "middle" period. It consists of four movements.
The introductory andante con moto section of the first movement is not directly related to the rest of the movement and serves a similar function to the introduction of his Op. 74 quartet. Thereafter, the movement's main thematic material is exposed and developed. The relation (or apparent lack thereof) between the slow, sombre and dissonant introduction and the bright allegro which follows, is similar to what is found in Mozart's "Dissonance" Quartet, also in the key of C.
The quartet's second movement makes use of an augmented second in the descending scale first played by the first violin at the beginning of the movement. This interval, repeated through the movement, gives it an association with the Hungarian scale. Unlike the other two opus 59 quartets, this one does not have an explicit "Theme Russe" in any of its movements. Nevertheless, it can be argued that this second movement with its sparse texture and comfortless melodies, evokes a Russian feel by bringing to mind the vast, barren and desolate landscape of the Siberian tundra.
The quartet's third movement is a lighter menuetto which provides the motif that is subsequently turned upside down for the last movement, a fugal allegro molto that begins with the viola and adds the second violin, cello and first violin in that order. The movement is in alla breve time and is almost a perpetuum mobile in quavers. The fugue is semi-rigorous, somewhere between the fugato of Mozart's string quartet K.387 and the rigorous fugue of his Adagio and Fugue K.546. About halfway into the movement, a contrasting theme is introduced, which moves in minims. The movement concludes with an enormous Mannheim crescendo, peaking at an implicit ff."

Andante con moto / Allegro vivace - 00:05
Andante con moto quasi allegretto - 10:06
Menuetto grazioso - 18:54
Allegro molto - 24:00 - Hudba
Man that cello in the second movement could keep you up at night.
I have this recording, and I like it...but after following the score, I think I'm going to change my mind and agree with the folks who say that Emerson takes that last movement *too* *fast*. Just a bit.
Been waiting for this amazing quartet, thank you!🙌
Masterpiece.
The Menuetto sounds like "god Save the king" listen to Beethoven's variation of it Especially the g# and the arpeggio at the end of the cello section in the first phrase
Not a great start to the uni year, this has brightened my week as usual

Μεγάλη κληρονομιά για την ανθρωπότητα
this music is in elite dangerous
The last moviment is played too fast. I prefer a slower tempo.

I would say the last movement was played too fast though it was noted "Allegro molto" by Beethoven. I prefer the Suske Quartet version. Sorry Emerson but at least for now it's my perception and could be wrong. :)
I think the Suske is too slow in the last movement. Maybe this one could be slightly slower but I love the feeling that the music is almost getting away from the players but they’re still playing with crystal clarity.
Uuuuh! Encontré la partitura de la Metalovsky G NI AL
Firts moviment its very similare mozart's "dissonace" quartet
