the relationship between A and C is insane in this piece... begins with A and C in violin and viola, last movement ends with A B C as melody. A minor and A major sections alll throughout the movements in C
Brian Bernstein now the secondary group in mvt I is mostly in G major, the expected key in a Classical sonata form. The development section presents some fascinating modulations, including a tritone about midway through the section.
There's such a contrast between the sombre, chromatic slow intro to the first movement to the merry, bucolic Allegro section. This pattern occurs frequently in Beethoven's music
Dan Cosley the slow 2nd movement is a phenomenal creation, even for Beethoven. It's so filled with pain and anguish throughout. Even the modulation to the relative major in the middle of the mvt provides little comfort.
In my opinion Mozart’s quartets can’t even hold a candle to Beethoven’s. I believe the Fourteenth quartet may be the greatest piece of chamber music in history.
Timon de Nood the Menuetto is just a delight to listen to! It's as if Beethoven couldn't let go completely of 18th century Classicism, in an otherwise highly innovative work, and trio of quartets op. 59. The transition material from the minuet to the brilliant, mostly polyphonic finale was unprecedented for its time. Only the incomparable master Beethoven could have pulled this off so seamlessly.
@@isaacanwarwatts8844 Thoe awell, obviously, its justs that Beethoven's early and middle period don't get enough credit for its' contrapuntal genius. ie Eroica and this quartet.
This Beethoven string quartet is Mozartian in the sense of Mozart's string quartets dedicated to Haydn. The first and second violin- and to some extent the viola have all of the fun. I always follow the cello line because it's my chosen instrument but here it mainly serves as a fairly unexciting base line- except perhaps in the second movement with extensive pizzicato.
The ostinato in the bass of the second movement (the two-bar phrase of a neapolitan followed by a diminished seventh chord) reminds me of something... I can’t remember what, but it sounds familiar. Hmm... The Firebird by Stavinsky?
@@dainaneithardt2413 I've seen this before. In some old editions of music with cello, when the treble clef is used, it means you're supposed to play an octave lower than the notes you see on the treble clef. And that's what the cellist is doing in this performance. I don't think publishers use this old notation these days.
That cello part in the second movement is haunted af! Beethoven is one of the few composers who can *really* mess you up good

ABC
When I try to reach the word count on my essay…
00:00 Andante con moto -- Allegro vivace
10:51 Andante con moto quasi allegretto
21:45 Menuetto. Grazioso - Trio
26:56 Allegro molto
Jamison Sanchez utterly awesome! Each movement is a masterpiece in miniature
There's such a contrast between the sombre, chromatic slow intro to the first movement to the merry, bucolic Allegro section. This pattern occurs frequently in Beethoven's music
Unreal. I am discovering this for the first time. What a wonder to behold
7:10 the chord is like Romantic era(V/ii)
11:05 The cellist plucked his cello strings calmly.
For some reason it reminds me of Mongolian throat music..
Beethoven is god of music
Certainly one of them...

And Bach is its high priest and Mozart its archangel.
@@jorgelopez-pr6dr I imagine they all are the trinity. Each one infinitely as great and important but different at the same time.
@@jorgelopez-pr6dr Bach would be God, Mozart Satan and Beethoven an atheist that created the universe in seven days
Intro is like beethoven's first symphony
Wonderful! A great new rendition that I got to know through you. Thank you a lot!
I'm glad you enjoyed. Thank you for watching
Jamison Sanchez I never heard of the Suske Quartet, but they're fantastic and give an utterly magnificent performance of this sublime quartet.
great video keep up the amazing content
The "Heroic" Quartet.
a great example of the creative mastery that is Beethoven-wrote the best string quartets in the universe!
Just after those of Mozart... except these 3 Op.59..and Harp Op.74...really wonderful!🎼
@@vittoriomarano8230 Beethoven late quartet are topped by not even mozarts. Some say the 14th is the greatest piece ever written

@@joshuasussman4020 many musicologists, and myself, agree with you
@@vittoriomarano8230 Mozart string quartets are light years behind Beethoven's works.
straight fire
Jumpscare F# diminished chord to start off
Hahaha
@@farrelpermadi5471 Right. I literally jumped out of my seat. :D
I laughed because my professor was just talking about how Romantic composers overuse diminished chords.
Thx!!!
Wow, that finale :O

I think you're right. The introduction.
great musivality ;
1:21, Allegro
2:42, punto con scale di sedicesimi
How many material and ideas in this full of character quartet!
7:51best rhythmic change
Paul got his baseline for Hey Bulldog from 28:47 .
The first movement reminds me a little from the Mozart's dissonance quartet, anyone else too?
A little, yes.
only the beginning
The introduction - yes.
Some parts sound a little like the clarinet quartet
Pause it on the first voice of 01:22 Allegro Vivace. It's literally the “Windows Error Alert”.
10:51

it sounds like it should be an alto clef

@@hemiolaguy right -- it's notated in the proper clef but an octave too high
The finale is too slow and boring.
Your mother is too slow and boring.
Certainly my LEAST favourite
This Quartet is objectively better than every piece of contemporary "music" ever composed.
