Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet No. 4 in C Minor was published in 1801 as Opus 18, No. 4, and was written between 1798 and 1800. It consists of four movements:
- Allegro ma non tanto
- Andante scherzoso quasi Allegretto
- Menuetto: Allegretto
- Allegro - Prestissimo
As noted in the program notes in the external link and elsewhere, it is thought that this quartet may be in part based on earlier material.
