  • If anyone else is interested the cover lady is by Jean-Etienne Liotard.

    Beautiful post, thank you.

  • Are Haydn's string quartets better on the whole than Mozart's? I dunno, bu notably, Mozart's most famous quartets are the "Haydn quartets"!

  • @the1yage I've personally always liked Haydn's music better then Mozart's. But then again, I haven't listened to nearly everything by either composer so I couldn't judge.

  • @the1yage Personnally I'd tend to say yes, I find Haydn's string quartets more inventive than Mozart's, though I do like Mozart's very much too. Mozart indeed had a lot of admiration for Haydn (as dit Haydn for Mozart) and dedicated many of his quartets to Haydn. On the other hand when it comes to trios, I actually prefer Mozart's to Haydn's!

  • One of Haydn's most deeply felt and profound movements. One hears the deep pathos behind Haydn's often deceptively light-hearted music.

  • It always seems like the second movement where Haydn gets reflective and a little sentimental. Love it.

  • WHOA!! Who's the lady in the cover???

    About Haydn... the guy apparently liked pranking people, according to what I read- what a character! He wasn't just a talent but also a personality... and a brain, not to mention!
