String Quartets: Op. 1, nos. 5 & 6 / Op. 2, nos. 1 & 2

Album by Joseph Haydn & Kodály Quartet

String Quartets Op. 1 Nos. 5 & 6 and Op. 2 Nos. 1 & 2 are a set of early string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in the mid-1750s. They exemplify early Classical-era chamber music, featuring conversational interplay among two violins, viola and cello, transparent textures, balanced phrasing and early experiments in form and harmonic language that contributed to Haydn's development of the string quartet as a central genre in his career.
