I listened to this quartet many times but only now I have some understanding of Brahms’ thought process when creating it. Thank you Belcea Quartet.

K. Chorzuelski (violist) brilliantly linked the second movement to the Cavatina of Beethoven, op.130. And his comment regarding "question and answer" in the finale points to that of Beethoven, op.135. I hear opus 51/1 with new ears!!!!
