Daniel K. L. Chua believes that of the five quartets the three that he studies trace a process of disintegration, whereas the last two, Opp. 131 and 135, reintegrate the language that Beethoven himself had destabilized.

Reviews for The Galitzin Quartets of Beethoven. Opp. 127, 132, 130.
"Daniel Chua's new study ... is perhaps the closest reading of these works to emerge in recent years. The author gives a thoughtful account of the music, and identifies with precision many of the interpretive difficulties associated with it. Moreover, he refuses to give up trying to understand them when these difficulties seem insurmountable."
