String Quartets, op. 76: No. 4 "Sunrise" / No. 5 / No. 6

Album by Joseph Haydn & Kodály Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 76 are a set of six string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1797. They exemplify mature Classical string-quartet writing, featuring balanced conversational interplay among the four instruments, clear use of sonata and variation structures and a mix of energetic and lyrical movements that reflect Haydn's late style and contributed to shaping the subsequent development of chamber music.
