String Quartets

Album by Joseph Haydn & Pro Arte Quartet

The String Quartets are a series of chamber-music works by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed across several decades from the mid-1750s to the early 1800s. They chart the development of the classical string quartet genre, featuring conversational interplay among two violins, viola and cello, increased formal clarity, motivic economy and balanced multi-movement structures that mark a central phase of Haydn's compositional career.
