ベートーヴェン 弦楽四重奏曲第 1 番第10番 変ホ長調「ハープ」作品 74

Beethoven's 四重奏 第 10 in E♭ major, nicknamed The Harp, was published in 1809. The nickname refers to the pizzicato sections in the first movement, where pairs of members of the 四重奏 alternate arpeggio notes, reminiscent of the plucking of a harp. Like most nicknames for Beethoven's works, this was created by the publisher. The Harp 四重奏 parallels many facets of the 5th 交響曲: the geroic quality pervading Beethoven's Middle Period is heard extensively in the first movement.
