String Quartets op. 50, 4-6: The Frog & The Dream

Album by Joseph Haydn & Amati Quartet

String Quartets Op. 50, Nos. 4–6 are part of a set of string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1787. These works exhibit Classical-era clarity and balanced quartet writing, with increased motivic development, formal experimentation and notable harmonic turns that mark a mature phase in Haydn's chamber music and influenced later developments in the genre.
