Description
The Op. 50 string quartets are among Haydn's most refined compositions. This in-depth analysis by W. Dean Sutcliffe explores these six quartets within the context of Haydn's broader oeuvre, examining their significance and relevance to his other works. Sutcliffe delves into each quartet with meticulous attention, drawing on Haydn's surviving letters and recently discovered autograph copies to shed new light on the composition and publication history of Op. 50. The book also provides a concise background to the string quartet genre, tracing its development from Haydn's early works at Esterhaza. By examining these six quartets in detail, Sutcliffe offers a nuanced understanding of Haydn's mastery as a composer.
