String Quartets, op. 33 nos. 1, 2, 3

Album by Joseph Haydn & The Salomon Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 33 Nos. 1-3 are three string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1781. They exemplify Haydn's mature Classical string-quartet style, with conversational interplay among the instruments, clear formal structures, concise thematic development, and rhythmic and harmonic surprises that helped redefine quartet writing in the Classical period.
