Beethoven String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131: The amazing quality of this quartet has never been equaled. It stands alone, a Gibraltar in the entire world of music, a supreme conception that has numbered many a composer into fear of even attempting to match its diction. The creative record of this work has never been settled in terms of critical analysis. If it is possible to define greatness by musical creation, this quartet does so. If it is possible to estimate genius, because the resultant work cannot be fully explained, we already have, by the sheer puzzle of this quartet, proof of Beethovens genius.(Cohn, Arthur, The Literature of Chamber Music, p. 240)
