String Quartets Op. 74 “Apponyi Quartets” No. 1, No. 2 & No. 3 “The Rider”

Album by Joseph Haydn & Kocian Quartet

String Quartets Op. 74 are a set of three string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1793 and commonly referred to as the Apponyi Quartets. They exemplify Classical-era chamber music with balanced, conversational writing for the four instruments, inventive harmonic turns and rhythmic character, and occupy a late stage in Haydn's quartet output that contributed to the genre's development.
