\"\"<\/a>The significance of the sixty-eight string quartets written by Josef Haydn cannot beunderestimated. These works established a genre which has challenged (and terrified) composers ever since. It has become a medium for formal exploration, technical innovation, and for the communication of the deepest emotions. It can be both entertaining for audiences and deeply satisfying for the performers.
\nIn a short course it is not possible to cover the whole of Haydn\u2019s treasure house of works, but we shall take a detailed look at two sets of quartets which are particularly rewarding to study. The six quartets of Opus 20 were written when Haydn was forty, and well-established as Kapellmeister to the Esterh\u00e1zy family, whom he served for more than forty years. The music is exploratory, both in form and in emotional expression, reflecting the sensibilities of the 1770s.<\/p>\n

Twenty-five years later Opus 76 appeared, the last set of six quartets, although some individual works were to follow. By this time, Haydn was a well-travelled celebrity, but his
\nenthusiasm for experiment was undimmed. This collection includes some of his most popular works, including the \u2018Emperor\u2019 and the \u2018Fifths\u2019 quartets.<\/p>\n
