String Quartets "Prussian" op. 50

Album by Joseph Haydn & Nomos Quartett

String Quartets, Op. 50 is a set of six string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1787. The set furthers Haydn's development of the Classical string quartet, featuring compact movements, conversational interplay among the instruments, inventive use of harmony and texture, and greater formal experimentation that marks a step towards his mature quartet writing.
