Is there any transcription of the Beethoven string quartets ? Thanks in advance.

Some library links:

Transcription of Op. 133 by Irene Ruppert

Complete string quartets transcribed for four-hand piano (Dover)
https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/223239263

The Dover thing might be the best you can do, and likely the easiest to find since Dover books are cheap and fairly ubiquitous in libraries. There are used copies of this at Amazon as well. I think it's supposed to be two volumes.

My God ! That's wonderful ! Thank you very much for posting this link ! Has anyone played them ? Are they advanced ? How would grade them ? I know this is subjective, I'd like to have idea, I'm not very advanced, I can tackle pieces that are around grade 7, but that's all.

Thank you again for the link.

Nobody has played these transcriptions ? Well, anyway, after looking at the scores, they look too hard for me.

I don't think any of the Winkler transcriptions have been recorded, but some of the Tausig/Beethoven quartet transcriptions have just been recorded by Petronel Malan.
