String Quartets, op. 33

Album by Joseph Haydn & Cuarteto Casals

String Quartets, Op. 33 is a set of six string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1781 and published in 1782. Written for the classical chamber-music tradition, the quartets feature Haydn's increased use of humour, rhythmic invention, canonic and contrapuntal textures and a more equal distribution of material among the four instruments, marking a key development in the evolution of the string quartet as a genre.
