L. van Beethoven <==> T.S. Eliot: Quartets

There is disagreement as to how much, or even whether or not, Eliot was influenced when writing the Four Quartets by a particular Beethoven string quartet. The quartet in question is the Beethoven String Quartet No. 15 in A Minor, Opus 132, linked to in Youtube below.

I am convinced. But listen for yourself, and see what you think. And, even if you don't see it or don't care, the music is beautiful. Many people feel that the late quartets were Beethoven's greatest work.
