Item number 1450440JE, 24 pages, $27.95

In 1798, Beethoven began writing the biggest project in his first decade in Vienna, a set of six string quartets which would become his opus 18. The F major quartet, though listed as No. 1, was the second composed, and it is an impressive piece. The beautiful D-minor adagio was inspired by the burial-vault scene in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". The Fourth Quartet, in C minor, is a fascinating piece which incorporates a gypsy theme into its final movement. "String Quartets" is a wonderful display of beautiful writing from the latter part of Beethoven's early period.
 
This book/CD package consists of a printed music score and a compact disc which includes two versions of each song from the book. The first is a complete version with soloist, that you can practice with. The second version is a full stereo orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist, that you will use for performances!
