große Fuga

Book •
The Grosse Fuge, Op. 133, is a single-movement composition for string quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven.

It was originally conceived as the final movement of his String Quartet No. 13 in B♭ major, Op. 130.

However, due to its length and complexity, it was published separately in 1826.

The Grosse Fuge is known for its intensely complex structure and dissonant harmonies.

It is considered one of Beethoven's most challenging and profound works.
