For a string player, Beethoven\x92s 16 quartets are of an importance similar to that of his sonatas to a pianist, or his symphonies to a conductor. As a body they form the culmination of all the chamber music composed before them, and to this day they remain a benchmark for every composer of string quartets. The Chiaroscuro Quartet begin their cycle of these works at the same place as Beethoven did, with the Op. 18 set which occupied him intensively for the best part of two years (1798 \x96 1800). The effort he put into these quartets was surely due to the fact that he had much to live up to \x96 they would be measured against those of Haydn and Mozart, who had raised the genre to a supreme vehicle for \x91learned\x92 taste and subtle, civilized musical discourse.String Quartet No. 1 In F Major, Op. 18
