Beethoven : String Quartet in C-sharp minor, Op. 131

Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven

Description:
Beethoven’s String Quartet in C-sharp minor, Op. 131, is often considered one of his most personal and profound compositions. It consists of seven continuous movements, offering a seamless, deeply expressive journey that reflects Beethoven’s struggles with deafness, isolation, and the emotional weight of his late years. The work is famously said to have been Beethoven’s favorite among his quartets, and Franz Schubert reportedly requested to hear it one last time on his deathbed.

This new Urtext edition, edited by Jonathan Del Mar, provides a meticulous revision of this highly complex masterpiece. For the first time, Beethoven’s original pencil markings—which were previously overlooked—are carefully incorporated into the score, ensuring the most faithful representation of the composer’s intentions.

Performance Notes:
This edition presents a critical and historically accurate rendering of the quartet, offering string players a refined interpretation of Beethoven’s markings. Given the continuous nature of its seven movements, performers should carefully approach transitions and phrasing to maintain the structural integrity and emotional depth of the work.

About the Composer:
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was a German composer and pianist, regarded as one of the most influential figures in Western classical music. His late string quartets, including Op. 131, are considered among the greatest achievements in chamber music, pushing the boundaries of form, harmony, and expression.

貝多芬 : 升C小調弦樂四重奏，作品131

作曲家： 路德維希·范·貝多芬

簡介：
貝多芬的升C小調弦樂四重奏，作品131，被認為是他最具個人色彩且最深刻的作品之一。全曲由七個連續樂章組成，呈現出無縫銜接的音樂旅程，反映了貝多芬晚年與耳聾、孤獨及情感重擔奮鬥的內心世界。據說貝多芬將此作品視為他所有四重奏中最重要的一首，傳聞舒伯特（Franz Schubert）臨終時特別請求再次聆聽這首作品。

本原典版（Urtext）由強納森·德爾·馬爾（Jonathan Del Mar）編訂，進行了對這部極其複雜作品的全面修訂。這次編訂首次忠實納入貝多芬原稿中的鉛筆標記，這些標記在過去的版本中幾乎完全被忽視，使此版本成為最貼近作曲家原意的權威參考。

演奏提示：
此版本提供了一個學術性、歷史性與演奏性兼具的版本，為弦樂演奏者提供了準確的詮釋方向。由於全曲七個樂章不間斷銜接，演奏者應特別注意樂章之間的過渡處理，以確保整體結構的流暢性及情感的連貫性。

作曲家介紹：
路德維希·范·貝多芬（Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770–1827）是西方古典音樂史上最具影響力的作曲家之一。他的晚期弦樂四重奏，特別是作品131，被譽為室內樂歷史上最偉大的成就之一，在曲式、和聲與表現力方面達到了前所未有的高度。
