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 of the Hyperion recording and elsewhere, it is thought that this quartet may be in part based upon earlier material.^[1]
