Quartets, op. 33 nos.4-6

Album by Joseph Haydn & The Shostakovich String Quartet

Quartets, Op. 33 Nos. 4–6 are three string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1781. They exemplify Haydn's mature classical style, with balanced four-part writing and increased conversational interplay between the instruments, employing rhythmic wit and unexpected harmonic turns that helped to establish the string quartet as a central genre of late 18th-century chamber music.
