String Quartets, op. 76 1-3

Album by Joseph Haydn & Chiaroscuro Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 76 Nos. 1-3 are three of the six string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1796-1797 and published in 1799. They exemplify Haydn's mature Classical style with balanced movements, inventive motivic development and refined string writing, and they occupy an important place in his late chamber-music output as works that helped establish the string quartet's central role in the late 18th-century repertoire.
