FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809)

String Quartet in C Major Op. 76 No. 3Hob III:77 "Kaiser"

1. Allegro

Performed by Quator Mosaiques

*This quartet boasts the nickname "Kaiser" or "Emperor", because in the second movement, Haydn quotes the melody from Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser ("God Save Emperor Francis"), an anthem he wrote for Emperor Francis II. This same melody is known to modern listeners for its later use in the German national anthem, Deutschlandlied.

  • Mozart was inspired by many of Haydn compositions

  • Indeed. They were very good friends with each other and had a very close relationship. Haydn was essentially his mentor.

  • @shallaby Mozart said he didn't feel the need of working on quartets that hard because Haydn did such an excellent job. They respected eachother very much.

  • @davlor86

    He was definitely! Even though Mozart was already dead when Haydn composed this.

  • It's really good except you can hear the musicians breathing and their instruments squeaking at the rests.

  • Haydn is a genius - some of the most beautiful music ever written in my opinion!

  • This neo-classical painting has a rather long title: 'Lady Gaga orders her bedbath from late-night room service'. Ms. Germanotta is seated at the left. Sorry, but I have forgotten the artist's name. Jacques .L. David, peut etre.

  • This is a magnificent recording.

  • Great song! But what is the name of the painting?

  • @davlor86 Did you know that Mozart apparently wrote twinkle twinkle little star when he was three!

  • :good heaven's, it has been a long day, let us rest for a moment before finishing. --

  • *truly
