It was Ludwig van Beethoven's final completed work, but with its economical form and an optimistic tone that borders on cheerfulness, it stands apart from his other late quartets: Classical Tulsa host Jason Heilman introduces Beethoven’s surprising String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Op. 135, in 10 minutes or less. You can hear the Rolston String Quartet perform this piece live as part of Chamber Music Tulsa's 2022-23 season at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center on February 19.
