"Muss es sien?" note[edit]

I think the Beethoven quartet with that marking is Op. 135, not Op. 127. DavidRF (talk) 15:51, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure with Opus number is correct but unless Beethoven misspoke, I believe the correct spelling is "Muss es sein?". Centy – reply• contribs – 16:51, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are both right. --Ravpapa (talk) 18:55, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

External Link Suggestion[edit]

There was a recent lecture by Roger Parker on this quartet, followed by a performance of this piece: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/event.asp?PageId=45&EventId=685 I think that it would be good if this goes up. - Is there any complaint to my doing it, despite my connection to Gresham College, or would someone else like to do it?

Why is this article classed as a stub?[edit]

It doesn't seem like a stub to me. --Ravpapa (talk) 07:51, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then re-freaking assess it. Is it that hard to change one word? Make your assessment and move on! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:54, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Was this FM's second Quartet?[edit]

I believe that despite the opus number, this work was composed before the Opus 12 quartet. If this is correct, we should change language in the article referring to this as Mendelssohn's second quartet (e.g. "it was Mendelssohn's second string quartet"; "...he was already an experienced composer of chamber music. In addition to the first quartet, opus 12...") But perhaps I am wrong. Anybody know for sure? mcoverdale (talk) 19:11, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How right you are! fixed. --Ravpapa (talk) 05:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ravpapa. mcoverdale (talk) 14:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Minor timing change[edit]

Mendelssohn wrote this quartet in 1827, which was one year (not two) after Beethoven's last string quartets. Both the Op. 135 and the new finale to Op. 130 date from 1826. I have made the minor change required. Opus131 (talk) 01:19, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
