String Quartets, Vol. IX: “Apponyi” Op.71/74, Hob. III: 69-74 (parts) by Franz Joseph Haydn

Urtext edition by Georg Feder and Isidor Saslav. Published by Henle

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was one of the greatest composers of Western classical music. A ceaseless innovator, he led the transition from the Baroque into the Classical period, refining and inventing many forms and genres and influencing countless composers, notably Mozart and Beethoven, whom he mentored. He became chiefly renowned for his humor, spontaneity, and inventive motivic development.

Haydn is known as “the father of the string quartet” for his prolific, innovative, and enduring work in the genre across 68 completed works. His six quartets that make up Op.71/74, Hob. II: 69-74 are commonly known as the “Apponyi” quartets, after the dedicatee, his friend Count Apponyi. Composed in 1793 between his celebrated stays in London, they are perhaps the first quartets composed for public audiences rather than noble benefactors. They are accordingly more lively, extroverted, and symphonic in scale, with sophisticated, dynamic language anticipating the Romantic Era. This premium Henle urtext edition, Volume 9 of its survey of his complete string quartets, contains critical and historical commentary. Parts only. Advanced level, Grade 5.
