About

In his late work Beethoven devoted himself intensively to the forms of baroque polyphony. He originally composed the “Große Fuge” as the final movement of the String Quartet in Bb major op. 130. However, according to one critic, the listeners of the time considered it to be “unintelligible, like Chinese”. At the urging of his publisher, Beethoven then replaced it with a newly composed closing movement for the quartet. In addition he also made a version of the “Große Fuge” for piano four-hands. The autograph of this arrangement was recently rediscovered. Courtesy of the Juillard School of Music we were able to consult it for the first time for our new critical edition.?
