String Quartets, op. 76

Album by Joseph Haydn & London Haydn Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 76 is a set of six string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed between 1797 and 1799 and published in 1799. They exemplify Classical-era chamber music, combining nimble thematic interplay, sophisticated harmonic invention and structural clarity, and represent the culmination of Haydn's contributions to the string quartet genre, serving as a model for later composers.
