String Quartets op. 76 nos. 1, 2 "Fifths", 3 "Emperor"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Lindsay String Quartet

String Quartets Op. 76 Nos. 1–3 are three of the six string quartets by Joseph Haydn, completed in 1797. They exemplify Classical-era chamber music through balanced textures, clear melodic lines and sophisticated counterpoint, reflecting Haydn's mature style and his consolidation of the string quartet as a central genre in late-18th-century music.
