Quartets, op. 33 nos. 1-3

Album by Joseph Haydn & The Shostakovich String Quartet

Quartets, Op. 33 Nos. 1-3 are three of the six string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1781. Musically they emphasise equal-part interplay, concise motivic development and unexpected harmonic turns, advancing the Classical string quartet idiom by increasing instrumental independence and formal wit, and they occupy a pivotal place in Haydn's mid-career output and the wider history of chamber music.
