This composer dedicated his 14th string quartet to Baron von Stutterheim, who took in his nephew and ward, Karl, after an attempted suicide. He dedicated three quartets to Nikolai Galitzin, including his thirteenth quartet, whose sixth movement was excised as unplayable. The output of his middle period includes pieces nicknamed "Harp" and "Serioso", as well as three dedicated to Count Razumovsky. Outside of chamber music, he composed a funeral march in rondo form for one symphony, and his piano sonatas include the Appassionata. That E-flat major symphony is regarded as a turning point toward Romanticism. For 10 points, name this German composer of the Eroica Symphony.
