Prussian Quartets: op. 50 nos. 1-3

Album by Joseph Haydn & The Salomon Quartet

Prussian Quartets: Op. 50 Nos. 1–3 are a set of three string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1787. Rooted in the Classical style, they feature clear formal structures, intricate contrapuntal writing and a notably prominent cello part that expands the quartet's textural range, representing a mature phase in Haydn's quartet writing and marking an important stage in the development of the string quartet genre.
