String Quartets: op. 71 no. 1 in B flat / op. 71 no. 2 in D

Album by Joseph Haydn & The Salomon Quartet

String Quartets Op. 71 No. 1 in B flat and Op. 71 No. 2 in D are two chamber works by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1793. They exemplify Classical-era string quartet writing through conversational interplay among the four instruments, clear sonata-based structures and inventive motivic development, and they form part of Haydn's mature output that helped to consolidate the string quartet as a key genre in Western art music.
