The Six 'Haydn' Quartets, Nos. 14-19

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Artis Quartett

The Six 'Haydn' Quartets, Nos. 14-19, are a set of six string quartets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed between 1782 and 1785. They employ Classical-era chamber-music textures, balanced interplay among the four instruments and advanced harmonic and formal techniques, reflecting Haydn's influence and marking a development in Mozart's quartet writing within the late 18th-century string quartet tradition.
