To send to more than one person, separate addresses with a comma. In this movement Beethoven's contrapuntal writing is brilliant and helps to impart an atmosphere of great warmth. This and the first movement are the longest two in the work, each lasting nearly ten minutes.

While the mood of the Scherzo, marked Allegro, does not radically break from the more easy-going demeanor of the preceding two movements, it is more robust, more neurotically insistent. Its main theme, all of one measure in length, is repeated throughout the movement, the music turning obsessive and overwhelming. This Scherzo clearly looks toward the later ones, foreshadowing even that in the great Ninth Symphony. If the third movement sounds advanced for its time, the finale surpasses it at least in its subtle and innovative use of counterpoint.

The sometimes hesitant, sometimes start-and-stop character of this Presto clearly comes from a more mature Beethoven.

The structure here is quite unusual, consisting of three themes and a short coda at the end of the exposition. There follows a development section, out of which emerges a fourth theme. The work closes with a brilliant coda. Without doubt this is music on a level of profundity rarely found in Beethoven's scores up to that time.

For his part Beethoven also agreed to proofread Artaria's edition, thus becoming involved in the publication and giving it authenticity. The composer was, of course, not prepared to do so. There was a court case. Beethoven lost and on 8 March received his sentence, to publicly retract his claim — which, however, he did not do.

Count Fries once again got involved and mediated between the two parties. Central to the settlement on 9 September was another quintet which Beethoven was to compose for Fries and which was then to be published by Artaria. Although the suggestion to compose a new quintet came from Beethoven, in the end Artaria was the loser: Beethoven never composed another string quintet for Fries and Artaria came away empty-handed.
