Beethoven – String Quartet in E flat major, Op. 127

Kudikynah Cave is a rock shelter on the Franklin River in Tasmania which raised awareness of the significance of this wilderness area during the famous Franklin Dam controversy. Civil unrest in the USA was the catalyst for Shaw’s Three Essays, and the greatest exponent of turmoil, Beethoven displays in his first late quartet a sublime miracle of variation.
