Yeah, I’m a sucker for the sonatas, string quartets and most of the symphonies. Take a listen to Beethoven’s Quartet in C# minor, Op. 131, to hear a man take the traditional format of the string quartet and stretch it to the breaking point.

Yep...the Opus 131 is the king of quartets. With Beethoven and Bach, my favorite depends on whose piece I listened to last.
Bach was amazing...please...have a listen to the sarabande from Partita #2 for solo violin; or, perhaps you would prefer the chaconne.
