To illustrate this, I shall divide this paper into four parts. First, I shall explain the underlying structure and tonal qualities of Classical music, making many references to Charles Rosen's book on the subject, which is considered to be the best and most thorough study of classical music to date. In part two, I shall make an in-depth analysis of an early work by Beethoven, String Quartet #6,opus 18 in B-flat major. In part three, I shall examine a very late work, String Quartet #12,opus 127 in E-flat major, applying the same analytical principles as used in part two, and which will show considerable developments as compared to the earlier work. In part four, I shall examine Beethoven's personal development as a man, as seen through J.W.N. Sullivan's book. I should point out that Rosen's view of classical style is a very new book, published in 1997,and focuses on technical and analytical matters. Sullivan's book on the other hand, published in 1927,is not only an old classic, but provides philosophical insights by focusing on Beethoven the man himself., The Classical style of music met its absolute apex in the music of Ludwig van Beethoven.
