String Quartets, op. 76 4-6

Album by Joseph Haydn & Chiaroscuro Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 76 Nos. 4-6 are three of the six string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1796–1797. These works exemplify Classical-era string quartet writing, characterised by clear formal structures, conversational interplay between the instruments, economical motivic development and occasional chromatic or contrapuntal gestures, and they form part of Haydn's mature contributions to the genre that influenced subsequent quartet practice.
