Beethoven, L. v.: String Quartet Op. 127 E-flat major – Score

From the series »BÄRENREITER URTEXT«.

This new scholarly-critical edition of String Quartet Op. 127, the first of Beethoven’s late quartets, follows upon Urtext publications of Op. 18, 59, 74 and 95.

Once more the editor is the renowned Beethoven authority Jonathan Del Mar. All surviving sources have been consulted including sketches to clarify the conflicting readings in the autograph.
