Product Description

Beethoven's Fugue for String Quintet in D major, Op. 137 is a significant work, as it was the only piece he completed for string quintet in his late period. Composed in 1817, it was published posthumously in 1827 by Breitkopf & Härtel, hence the high opus number. The composition is scored for a string quintet with two violas and is structured as a single movement marked Allegretto, taking around two to three minutes to perform. While not as well-known as some of Beethoven's other works, the Fugue Op. 137 is valued for contributing to the chamber music repertoire and provides insight into Beethoven's exploration of the string quintet genre in his later years. Beethoven's Fugue Op. 137 is an essential example of the fugue genre and Beethoven's ability to use chromaticism and dissonance creatively and innovatively. It is a challenging piece of music that will test any musician's skills.
