I actually had a really hard time determining where beat 1 is of each measure. It feels kind of meandering, like a touch of musical dysphasia.

  The Grosse Fuge (German spelling: Große Fuge, also known in English as the Great Fugue or Grand Fugue), Op. 133, is a single-movement composition for string quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven. An immense double fugue, it was universally condemned by contemporary music critics. A reviewer writing for the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung in 1826 described the fugue as "incomprehensible, like Chinese" and "a confusion of Babel".

    A reviewer once gave a bad review to a good piece of work, therefore, anytime a bad review is given, the accompanying work must be good.
