String Quartets, op. 33

Album by Joseph Haydn & London Haydn Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 33 is a set of six string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1781 and published in 1782. The works exemplify Classical-era clarity and balanced textures, featuring witty rhythmic gestures and conversational interplay between the four instruments, and they marked a turning point in Haydn's quartet writing that influenced the subsequent development of the string quartet genre.
