Haydn, op. 33

Album by Joseph Haydn & Eybler Quartet

Haydn, Op. 33 is a set of six string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1781. They are key examples of Classical-era chamber music, featuring clear formal designs, lively rhythms, melodic interplay and a more equal conversational texture among the four instruments, and they represent a pivotal point in Haydn's development of the string quartet that influenced subsequent composers.
