String Quartets, opp. 71 & 74

Album by Joseph Haydn & London Haydn Quartet

String Quartets, Opp. 71 & 74 are sets of string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed around 1793. They exemplify Classical-era chamber music with clear thematic development, balanced four-part textures and inventive contrapuntal writing, and they occupy a late-mature phase of Haydn's output that precedes the Op.76 quartets and contributed to the establishment of the string quartet as a central genre in Western art music.
