String Quartet No. 76 "Quinten" / String Quartet No. 77 "Emperor" / String Quartet No. 78 "Sunrise"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Éder Quartet

Three string quartets by Joseph Haydn were composed in the late 1790s. They are rooted in Classical-era quartet writing, with clear textures and motivic development that unfold across contrasting movements, and they belong to Haydn's late-period output that had an impact on the chamber music repertory that followed.
