PROGRAMME
Joseph Haydn: String Quartet No. 2 in E flat major, Op. 9 / Franz Schubert: String Quartet No. 13 in A minor ‘Rosamunde’, D. 804
It was not uncommon in 1760 to find works written for two violins, viola and cello, but in reality, it is Joseph Haydn who laid the foundations of the string quartet genre with his 68 quartets written throughout his lifetime as a composer, from the late 1750s until 1803. Haydn's quartets had a great influence on later composers, not only because they are great works of the genre, but also because they were published very quickly, even in the beginning without the composer's permission, and simultaneously in several countries. Schubert wrote quartets from an early age, modelled on those of Haydn, Mozart and early Beethoven. Of the 15 quartets he wrote, you have heard one of the last four, No. 13, in which, freed from classical influence, he presents himself in a personal language full of drama.
