Beethoven's Quartet in E flat, Op. 127, was commissioned by Prince Galitzin-to whom it is dedicated-in 1822. But Beethoven was entirely occupied with his Ninth Symphony and was unable to begin work on the quartet until 1824 when staying among the pine woods of Baden. ' In ir we find', says Vincent d'Indy, the crowning expression of that love of nature of which he gave such wonderful evidence in the course of his career '.
