Quatuors Op. 33 & 42

Album by Joseph Haydn & Festetics Quartet

Quatuors Op. 33 & 42 are sets of string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed between 1781 and 1789. They exemplify Haydn's Classical-era quartet writing with balanced multi-movement structures, conversational interplay among the instruments and inventive thematic development, and mark a key stage in his shaping and expansion of the string quartet as a genre.
