Beethoven string quartets

I got a head start in Beethoven's late sting quartets (opp 127 thru 135)
when my mother gave me an LP with the Bflat major quartet op 130 / 133
for my birthday. I think I turned eighteen or nineteen back then. It was
the LaSalle Quartet. Later she gave me two more, with the A minor
quartet (132) and the C sharp minor (131).
I have been around the block many times since then. I have had times I
liked the Eflat quartet best, op 127. Or the valedictory op 135.
Because the 130/133 was my start, I have always remained attached to the
Bflat major. However, often I feel, as so many do, the op 131 is
Beethoven's ultimate string quartet.
So how do you feel? What is your favorite?

"So how do you feel? What is your favorite?"
My question was: what is your favorite piece among the last five LvB
quartets.
Not: which is your favorite recording, a topic that has been discussed a million times.
It's perhaps a topic for people who like Beethoven's string quartets.
And Beethoven in general.
Of the ABC quartets I like the A minor least, or rather, I haven't heard
many performances of the Heilige Dankgesang which didn't make me think
'Let's cut to the chase now.'
I love the first two movements, though.

Apples and oranges.
In spite of their highish opusnumbers, those sextets are from LvB's
earliest years.

people left RMCR because of your incredibly boring "humor". The "horny"
stuff etc.
Some of these people moved to this group, hoping to be able to discuss
music without your boorish and yet pretentious contributions inevitably
sucking the oxygen out of the room.
You hate Beethoven, and yet the overwhelming majority of messages on
this Beethoven SQ topic are by you, saying (fot instance) LvB's late SQs
are 'pretentious'. And then moving on to the overly familiar boorish
unfunny jokes.
It's pathological the way you seek out people who hate you. (Not that
there are many people who don't.)
Please go away.
