Beethoven, Ludwig - String Quartet "Grosse Fuge", Op 133 - Parts ONLY - edited by Jonathan Del Mar - Barenreiter URTEXT

This controversial quartet was composed later in Beethoven's career and is considered his most progressive work. Many critics claimed it was "long, complicated and through many hearings repellent" (Daniel Gregory Mason) and was "the most problematic single work in Beethoven's output" (Joseph Kerman), but others believe that this work is something to be admired and is a challenge worth accepting.  This edition contains parts for two violins, viola, and cello, and is edited by Jonathan Del Mar.
