Always interesting to see not only where a piece fits into the wider timescale, but also the composer's life, aged 31, and by now definitely showing his mettle. Also nice to see a picture of him that isn't the usual one!
You can’t go wrong by posting anything by LVB but I confess I rarely listen to his quartets. Having read your point about its age & it not being typically Baroque, it made me regard it differently & with more respect. Thank you, as always for enlightening me.
One thing I find about using this platform is that I tend to listen to the piece then leave, whereas with YouTube, I very often browsed around and listened to more material. Anyone else find that?
An old LvB favourite. Thank you Andrew.
Always a pleasure

Makes it all the more worthwhile Helene!
