Album by Joseph Haydn & London Haydn Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 64 is a set of six string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1790. The works exemplify the Classical string quartet through balanced formal structures, conversational interplay among the instruments and increased rhythmic and harmonic invention, marking a mature stage in Haydn's quartet writing that helped consolidate the genre's norms.
