String Quartets op. 76 nos. 4, 5, 6

Album by Joseph Haydn & Lindsay String Quartet

String Quartets Op. 76 Nos. 4, 5 and 6 are a set of string quartets by Joseph Haydn, published in 1799. Composed in Haydn's late Classical period, they exemplify the chamber-music idiom through balanced forms, conversational interplay between the four instruments, contrapuntal textures and inventive harmonic turns, and they occupy a central position in his mature quartet output that helped shape subsequent developments in the string quartet repertoire.
