String Quartets Opus 20

Album by Joseph Haydn & Quatuor Mosaïques

String Quartets, Op. 20 is a set of six string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed and published in 1772. The works employ sophisticated contrapuntal writing, expanded harmonic language and varied movement structures, marking a turning point in Haydn's development towards greater structural complexity and helping to establish formal and textural models for the classical string quartet repertoire.
