Der große Haydn Joseph hat, wie einige wenige Komponisten, den Menschen mit Tiefe der Kompositionen und die seelischen, mitfühlenden Wärme verliehen !!! Tepper Michael.
Los movimientos lentos de los primeros cuartetos de Haydn son tan...tristes, nostálgicos, perfectos, sensibles, profundos, bellos, esperanzadores, desoladores, serenos, magníficos...Música absoluta en su mejor expresión. Haydn el padre de tantas cosas maravillosas.
Haydn is miraculous. Somehow, no matter how chronologically puerile his music is supposed to be, it always sounds like a fully developed masterpiece. Especially in these string quartets, his ideas are always fresh, innovative, the harmonic balance between the instruments are always impeccably worked out. The constant fresh quality of his music, to me at least, always stands head and shoulders above his contemporaries. When I listen to Haydn, I marvel at how original his ideas are, at how effortlessly they flowed from his pen. A truly astonishing composer. After fully immersing myself in Mozart for over three decades and sadly neglecting Haydn, I have come to see him as an antechamber of sorts to fully appreciate the latter's eclectic genius.
The first minuet will always be one of my favorites. It always gets me to move or hum along. The Adagio is also gorgeous; it's very easy to imagine the first violin as an opera soloist singing an aria. The scoring of the other instruments helps with the effect (those pizziacatos at 9:01, for instance).
Even before Haydn invented the String Quartet proper with Op 20 he gets lovely sounds from four string instruments with the help of the fine Kodaly Quartet. A particularly ravishing Adagio.
The Kodaly's did an amazing job on Naxos with their Haydn quartets, each cd costing only 40% of other versions. I couldn't wait for each new issue to come out. They got the best out of all these works whether highly rated or not and made available unexplored parts of Haydn's amazing output. Personally i don't go along with the idea that these early quartets are inferior to Haydn's later output starting with opus 33.
this is one of my favorite works of any genre. he wrote this at 18yo, and it's magnificent. haydn really deserves more attention. where's his well-researched bio and carelessly-made movie bio-pic?
HC Robins -Landon is the man most associated with Haydn. That is something I consider unfortunate. Landon drifted into Haydn research. I think he said that he'd had better do it before someone else did. I'd have prefered that someone who revered haydn above all others had done the job. These days there are young scholars staggered by the neglect of Haydn. They have produced youtube videos explaining why Haydn is so great.
Probably composed between 1757 and 1761, Haydn - born in 1732 - would have been between 25 and 29 years old. Some may argue for a slightly earlier date when Haydn provided some divertimenti a quattro (what he himself called his earliest quartets) for Baron Furnburg’s summer parties at Weinzierl near Melk, probably between 1754 and 1757, but this too makes Haydn 22 to 25. When Haydn was 18 in 1750, he had just left the choir at St Stephen’s in Vienna; this date is far too early for these works.
@@MemphiStig You’re right, they are amazing works; one of the most astonishing things about Haydn is that whilst there are works that can be labelled ‘early’, absolutely nothing can be labelled as ‘immature’. Even from the very earliest compositions, everything in Haydn is highly professionally composed; he has something new to say, and the technical skill to say it.
The ten early divertimenti a quattro (string quartets) are impossible to date with absolute certainty, but it is generally accepted that they were written between 1757 and 1761 thus making Haydn between 25 and 29; some could just have been written for quartet parties for Baron Furnburg at Weinzierl near Melk which took place sometime between 1754 and 1757 this making Haydn between 22 and 25. In short: 19 (1751) is too young by some distance.
Haydn labelled his earliest string quartets as *Divertimenti a quattro* which differentiated them from about 40 divertimento-type works in the Hob. II section of the catalogue; these early divertimenti a quattro works appear correctly in Hob. III with all the other quartets.
Pietro Leopoldo (from 1790 on Emperor Leopold II.), his wife Maria Ludovica, daughter of Carlos III of Spain and 8 of their 16 children at Palazzo Pitti in Firenze. Among the children, the later Emperor Franz II.
I hope in the future the general English-speaking public knows the solo and string quartet music of at least one early German master and science the way that they currently know the pointless and foolish new music.

Very nostalgic !! We played this for a chamber orchestra in 1989 in Darjeeling, India.

What a killer finale !!
Solo escuchen ese adagio... sublime.
Wunderschön !!! Tepper Michael.
wonderful, nice, sweet

It's called in search of Haydn

@@elaineblackhurst1509 thank you for pointing that out. their date here is too early. still, an amazing work at any age.

Lovely what the 19 years old Haydn composed.

Merci
So much for "Allegro molto"!
13:51
who can name instruments he used to write this piece? Violin and what also?
String quartets always (or at least traditionally) consist of two violins, a viola, and a cello. :)
7:47 alibi elite

Is this one of the cassatations?

What painting is this? Is it Haydn and his family?
Pietro Leopoldo (from 1790 on Emperor Leopold II.), his wife Maria Ludovica, daughter of Carlos III of Spain and 8 of their 16 children at Palazzo Pitti in Firenze. Among the children, the later Emperor Franz II.
Thank you, my friend. It is an extraordinary painting and undoubtedly only people of the highest rank would be depicted in such a beautiful way.
I hope in the future the general English-speaking public knows the solo and string quartet music of at least one early German master and science the way that they currently know the pointless and foolish new music.
@@the_eternal_student good thought.
