Beethoven's command of texture is arguably one of the most expressive musical devices within his compositions. The four voices found in the genre of the string quartet provide the composer with a wide palette of textural possibilities. Among these is a frequently overlooked texture: silence. This texture, or lack thereof, is found throughout all sixteen of Beethoven's quartets. The normative placement of silence occurs at boundaries, outlining the formal divisions of a piece. Silence is marked when it occurs elsewhere within a work; in this case, the silence communicates expressive meaning. This paper examines Beethoven's use of such normative and non-normative silences throughout the sonata form movements of his earliest set of six string quartets, Opus 18. Normative silences occur at many different levels, from creating divisions between subphrases to separating entire movements, or even entire quartets within the opus. In contrast, non-normative silences communicate expressive meaning, such as failure of a topic, through their disruption of a melodic or harmonic statement. Although this paper emphasizes the use of silence, it also discusses the use of another extreme texture, that of unison, at significant formal locations. It concludes with a brief glimpse toward the Opus 59 quartets, revealing an evolution of Beethoven's use of extreme textures, concurrent with his stylistic development into the middle- period quartets. This motivates discussion of potential analytical techniques that could capture the element of texture within all of Beethoven's works for quartet, or perhaps the entire string quartet literature.

String Quartets in Beethoven’s Europe is the first detailed study of string quartets in late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century Europe. It brings together the work of nine scholars who explore little-studied aspects of this multi-faceted genre. Together, this book’s chapters deal with compositional responses to Beethoven’s string quartets and the prestige of the genre; varied compositional practices in string quartet writing, with a particular emphasis on texture and performance elements; and the reception of Beethoven’s string quartets ca. 1800. They include discussions of quartets composed for the amateur and connoisseur markets in Beethoven’s Europe; virtuosity, the French Violin School, and the quatuor brillant; the relationship between quartet composers and their audiences during Beethoven’s era; and the cross-pollination of quartet styles in Europe’s musical centers such as Vienna, Paris, and St. Petersburg.

"We do not understand music--it understands us." This aphorism by Theodor W. Adorno expresses the quandary and the fascination many listeners have felt in approaching Beethoven's late quartets. No group of compositions occupies a more central position in chamber music, yet the meaning of these works continues to stimulate debate. William Kinderman's The String Quartets of Beethoven stands as the most detailed and comprehensive exploration of the subject. It collects new work by leading international scholars who draw on a variety of historical sources and analytical approaches to offer fresh insights into the aesthetics of the quartets, probing expressive and structural features that have hitherto received little attention. This volume also includes an appendix with updated information on the chronology and sources of the quartets and a detailed bibliography.
