About This Song
About "String Quartet in F Major, Op. 18 No. 1: II. Adagio, affetuoso ed appassionato" by Borodin Quartet
Beethoven's early Adagio glows with operatic pathos. The Borodin Quartet shapes its affetuoso lines with a tender, breathing rubato—an intimate confession that hints at the profound depths the composer would later plumb.
