Quartet in C major, Op 59 No. 3, 'Rasumovsky'

Available for over a year

The op. 59 set of quartets were dedicated to Russian Ambassador in Vienna, Count Rasumovsky. The start lulls you in safely but the real energy kicks in at around 1 minute 50 seconds, skipping along until the second movement brings things back to a steady pace.
