Beethoven String Quartet, Op. 132 (Part 2)

This week we're diving into one of the great movements ever
written in Western Music with the slow movement of Beethoven's
Op. 132 quartet. This is a movement that explores Beethoven's
contradictory religious beliefs, his core optimism despite all
that happened to him during his life, and his fascination with
religious music. We'll then look at how Beethoven concludes this
epic piece, using sketches of music that started out as being
part of his 9th symphony, but not in the way you might expect.
Enjoy!
