"Sun" Quartets, op. 20 nos. 4-6

Album by Joseph Haydn & Chiaroscuro Quartet

The 'Sun' Quartets, Op. 20, Nos. 4–6 are part of a set of six string quartets by Joseph Haydn, published in 1772. They exhibit increased contrapuntal writing, dramatic Sturm und Drang gestures and conversational interplay among the four instruments, representing a significant step in Haydn's chamber music that helped shape the classical string quartet's formal and expressive possibilities.
