Haydn and Mozart Quartets

When Haydn first started composing for the string quartet, the first violinist was the star, actually standing in front of the other three seated players. Ninety-nine Haydn string quartets later, the form had evolved into four equal voices. Bill will share with us the brief time in history when Mozart and Haydn enjoyed each other’s company, playing and composing string quartets together.
