String Quartets Vol. 5 of 14 op. 20, nos. 1-6

Album by Joseph Haydn & Auryn Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 20 (Nos. 1–6) are a set of six string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1772. They display heightened contrapuntal writing, extended motivic development and balanced dialogue between the four instruments, and occupy an important position in Haydn's middle-period chamber music as a formative step in the evolution of the classical string quartet.
