Beethoven's 13th Quartet (Op. 130) in B-flat Major is traditionally assigned the number 13 based on its publication date, though it was acutally the 14th quartet he composed. This work features a unique 6 movement structure which mirrors Beethoven's traditional form used in many symphonies and quartets, but repeating the two middle movements. In its original form, this quartet included the Grosse Fuge as its finale. After the first performance received mixed reviews, Beethoven replaced the finale with the movement included in this version and published the Grosse Fuge as a separate work.

The first of Beethoven's late string quartets, the 12th Quartet in E-flat Major (Op. 127) is a massive work that showcases the changes in Beethoven's compositional technique. The first movement features a regular interruption of the theme - a technique that Beethoven used in a number of late compositions, while the third movement features a tonal progression similar to one used in the finale of the 9th Symphony.

"Interpreting Music" is a comprehensive essay on understanding musical meaning and performing music meaningfully - 'interpreting music' in both senses of the term. Synthesizing and advancing two decades of highly influential work, Lawrence Kramer fundamentally rethinks the concepts of work, score, performance, performativity, interpretation, and meaning - even the very concept of music - while breaking down conventional wisdom and received ideas. Kramer argues that music, far from being closed to interpretation, is ideally open to it, and that musical interpretation is the paradigm of interpretation in general. The book illustrates the many dimensions of interpreting music through a series of case studies drawn from the classical repertoire, but its methods and principles carry over to other repertoires just as they carry beyond music by working through music to wider philosophical and cultural questions.

Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor (Op. 131) is considered by many (including Beethoven himself) to be Beethoven's finest string quartet. The work consists of seven movements, played attaca, and covers all ranges of keys as it develops.

The last of Beethoven's middle period string quartets, the String Quartet No. 11 in F minor, Opus 95, represents a departure for Beethoven. The work, which became known as the "Serioso" quartet after Beethoven's initial tempo marking of "Quartetto Serioso," was marked on the autograph as being completed in October 1810, but did not receive a first performance until 1814. Beethoven was quoted as saying the work was never intended for public performance. Throughout the quartet, Beethoven experiments with new techniques that he had not used in previous quartets, with silences and unusual tonality for a sonata form work. This is the Performer's Edition Pocket Score of the work, designed for easy transport in a case or compact carrying for study of the work.
