String Quartets, op. 76

Album by Joseph Haydn & Quatuor Mosaïques

String Quartets, Op. 76 is a set of six string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1797. The works exemplify Haydn's late Classical style with clear textures, sophisticated counterpoint, inventive harmonic turns and formal experimentation, and they occupy a central position in the evolution of the string quartet during his late career.
First released: 25th April 2000
