Opus 20

Album by Joseph Haydn & St. Lawrence String Quartet

The String Quartets, Op. 20, are a set of six chamber works by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1772. They mark a development in Haydn's quartet writing and in the Classical string quartet genre, with increased contrapuntal complexity, more equal interplay among the four instruments and striking contrasts of texture and mood.
