Les quatuors op. 9

Album by Joseph Haydn & Festetics Quartet

Les quatuors op. 9 is a set of six string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, published in 1769. These early classical-period quartets exhibit clear galant melodies, balanced phrase structures and conversational writing between the two violins, viola and cello, reflecting Haydn's development of the string quartet as a central chamber-music genre in his career and in 18th-century musical history.
