1810年，意大利小提琴家Felix Radicati在英国人Thomas Appleby的钢琴架上看到了“拉祖莫夫斯基”四重奏的乐谱，说道：哈！贝多芬！人们都说他疯了，这些东西根本称不上音乐。他当初把手稿给我看，我指着说，你认为这是音乐吗？ 你猜他说什么？ “Oh, they are not for you, but for a later age.”......
The later age came quickly. Only twenty years afterward, musicians and listeners were beginning to understand that these three quartets formed a continental divide in the history of the quartet comparable to the Eroica and the Waldstein. Each quartet in its own way embodies a transformation of the genre, an expansion of the realm of the possible in what contemporaries saw as the most demanding branch of chamber music.
