WTQ on the subject of Beethoven Op 18

I have mentioned the wonderful book called ‘The Well Tempered Quartet’ in a previous post.  I thought it might be of interest to post the views of the WTQ’s authors on the subject of Beethoven Op 18.

The last few words (p60) are ‘The Rondo section demands light and flexible wrists.  At the change of tempo, do look carefully at one another to ensure unanimity.’   As if we wouldn’t !
