476.Rank the Beethoven String Quartets 贝多芬

Reader86

If you dare, please try to rank the Beethoven String Quartets!

You can use whatever criteria you choose: whether it is just your favourites, or works you respect the most, or works which you more objectively think are the greatest. For me it is quite often a mix of all those criteria. For example, I respect and value the Op. 131 very highly, but I cannot emotionally attach to it as much as to some others, so the ranking is lower.

I admit to not having a clear picture of the early quartets yet as I have always been concentrating on the latter half of the quartets. But I will rank what I can for you! These works I know.

1. String Quartet no. 16 in F major, Op. 135
2. String Quartet no. 15 in A minor, Op. 132
3. String Quartet no. 7 in F Major, Op. 59
4. String Quartet no. 13 in Bb Major, Op. 130
5. String Quartet no. 11 in F minor, Op. 95
6. String Quartet no. 14 in C# Minor, Op. 131
7. String Quartet no. 12 in Eb Major, Op. 127
8. String Quartet no. 8 in E Minor, Op. 59
9. String Quartet no. 10 in Eb Major, Op.75
10. String Quartet no. 9 in C Major. Op. 59
