Description :

This fourth volume of Haydn's String Quartets contains full scores of the twelve masterful quartets from Opp. 20 and 33 (six quartets from each). Composed in 1771 and 1781 respectively, these popular quartets are among the most performed and recorded pieces in the repertoire. This inexpensive volume would be an invaluable addition for any music student or Haydn fan. Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was an Austrian composer who became the figurehead of the classical movement. He formed a close and mutually respectful relationship with Mozart, and later taught Beethoven, but it was his compositions that left an indelible mark on the musical landscape ofWestern Europe.
