Album by Joseph Haydn & The Salomon Quartet

String Quartets, op. 33 nos. 4, 5, 6 & op. 42 is a collection of string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in the 1780s. Musically the works illustrate Haydn's mature approach to the classical string quartet, featuring tight motivic development, conversational interplay between the four instruments and formal clarity that helped define the genre and influenced later composers.
