The last of Beethoven’s middle quartets, String Quartet No. 11, dubbed by the composer as “Serioso,” is the shortest of the string quartet cycle. Despite a statement by Beethoven that the “Serioso” was never meant to be heard by the general public, it is perhaps his most well-known quartet, making it a particularly pleasing pairing with CLP – Mt. Washington, popular for its dramatic views.
