String Quartets, op. 74: No. 1 / No. 2 / No. 3 "Rider"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Kodály Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 74: No. 1 / No. 2 / No. 3 "Rider" is a set of three string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1793. These late Classical quartets exhibit Haydn's mature use of counterpoint, inventive rhythms and abrupt dynamic contrasts, and sit within his late-period output that traces the development of the string quartet toward greater harmonic and expressive complexity.
First released: April 1990
