Haydn Quartets

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Emerson String Quartet

Haydn Quartets is a set of six string quartets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed between 1782 and 1785. They are chamber works of the Classical period, characterised by conversational interplay among the four instruments, sophisticated counterpoint and an expanded formal scope that reflects Mozart's engagement with Haydn's quartet tradition and marks a mature phase in his chamber music output.
