»›Beethoven’s genius doesn’t need our eulogies,‹ published the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung 200 years ago. And in this spirit, we do not want to devote a big discussion to this year’s anniversary, but simply to play the music: simple and dramatic, polyphonic and pathos-laden.

When Beethoven wrote his first quartets, Haydn and Mozart had already set standards in the genre. But Beethoven found his own way, working hard to give his first essays polish. He created new impulses, which hinted at the symphonies that lay in the future, and lent musical expression to peace and liberty as much as to depression and his own will to fight on, until in the finale of his last string quartet he concluded: ›It has to be.‹«
