When asked about the meaning of his late string quartets Beethoven famously remarked 'those are not for you, they are for a later age'. Has that later age arrived? The leader of the Tak谩cs Quartet, Edward Dusinberre has just released a book entitled ' Beethoven for a Later Age: The Journey of a String Quartet', in which he discusses the significance and challenge of these extraordinary pieces of music, and the daily life of being in a travelling quartet. Weekend's Julian Worricker spoke to him and he explained why he chose this as the title for the book.
