String Quartets: "Emperor" / "Fifths" / "Sunrise"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Kodály Quartet

This collection is a set of string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1797. Musically, they exemplify Haydn's mature Classical style, with balanced textures and conversational interplay among the four instruments, clear formal structures and inventive motivic and harmonic writing that helped define the string quartet genre.
