Beethoven's middle-period quartets, Opp. 59, 74 and 95, are pieces
that engage deeply with the aesthetic ideas of their time. In the
first full contextual study of these works, Nancy November
celebrates their uniqueness, exploring their reception history and
early performance. In detailed analyses, she explores ways in which
the quartets have both reflected and shaped the very idea of
chamber music and offers a new historical understanding of the
works' physical, visual, social and ideological aspects. In the
process, November provides a fresh critique of three key paradigms
in current Beethoven studies: the focus on his late period; the
emphasis on 'heroic' style in discussions of the middle period; and
the idea of string quartets as 'pure', 'autonomous' artworks, cut
off from social moorings. Importantly, this study shows that the
quartets encompass a new lyric and theatrical impetus, which is an
essential part of their unique, explorative character.
