The Fugue for String Quintet in D major, Op. 137, was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1817. It was the only work he completed for string quintet in his late period.[1] Breitkopf & Härtel published the work after Beethoven's death in 1827, hence the high opus number. The composition is scored for a string quintet with two violas.[2]
Structure
The work is structured as a single movement marked Allegretto and takes around two minutes to perform.
