Summary:

"Twelve String Quartets" is the second volume in an ambitious effort—the collection of all of Haydn's works for string quartet. Musicians, music students, music historians, and Haydn enthusiasts will have affordable access to a uniform, sturdily bound, and clearly printed modern edition of Haydn's best pieces in full score.

Haydn, with his unceasing output of original, first-rate works, has earned a reputation in the history of music. He devoted himself to many recognizable genres, offering many of them a legacy with expandable possibilities and clear characteristic form. Among these are the symphony, the sonata, and perhaps most notably, the quartet.
