The 3 String Quartets op. 54 "Tost I"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Lindsay String Quartet

The Three String Quartets, Op. 54 'Tost I' are a set of three string quartets by Joseph Haydn, published in 1788. Composed during Haydn's middle period, they exemplify classical quartet writing through balanced conversational textures among the four instruments, clear formal structures, contrapuntal passages and moments of rhythmic wit that point toward his later mature quartets.
