‘Tost III’ Quartets, op. 64 nos. 4–6

Album by Joseph Haydn & The Salomon Quartet

‘Tost III’ Quartets, Op. 64 nos. 4–6 are a set of three string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1790. They exemplify Classical-era chamber music with clear textures, balanced contrapuntal writing and conversational interplay among the four instruments, and they represent Haydn's mature work in the quartet genre as he consolidated structural clarity and expressive range in his late 18th-century output.
