String Quartets, op. 55: No. 1 / No. 2 "Razor" / No. 3

Album by Joseph Haydn & Kodály Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 55 is a set of three string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, published in 1788. The works exemplify Haydn's development of the classical string quartet through balanced interplay among the four instruments, clear formal architecture, and heightened expressive contrasts that characterise his mature middle-period style.
