String Quartets. op. 17

Album by Joseph Haydn & London Haydn Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 17 is a set of six string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1771–1772. They are rooted in the early Classical style, featuring clear textures, conversational interplay between the instruments and formal refinement across movements, and they mark a key stage in Haydn's development of the string quartet as a genre.
