Beethoven's string quartets for every composer remain a benchmark. The Chiaroscuro Quartet have begun their cycle of these works at the same place as Beethoven did, with the Op.18 set which occupied him intensively for the best part of two years (1798-1800). The effort he put into these quartets was surely due to the fact that he had much to live up to - they would after all be measured against those of Haydn and Mozart.
