The Three String Quartets, op. 55 "Tost II"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Lindsay String Quartet

The Three String Quartets, Op. 55 are a set of three string quartets by Joseph Haydn, published in 1788. They exemplify Classical-era string quartet writing with balanced four-movement structures, clear thematic development and conversational interplay between the four instruments, occupying a transitional place in Haydn's chamber output as he moved toward greater formal refinement and expressive range between his earlier and later quartet cycles.
