G. Henle Verlag String Quartets, Volume VII Op.54 and Op.55 (Tost Quartets) - Haydn/Webster - String Quartet - Parts Set

Composer: Joseph Haydn
Editor: James Webster
Format: Parts Set, Urtext Edition
Instrumentation: String Quartet

This edition contains the String Quartets op. 54/55, sometimes also known as the "First Tost Quartets". Contrary to what the opus numbers might suggest, it is a cohesive cycle of six works. Mozart's influence is felt more deeply, the forms are more diverse, and the first violin is every now and then required to do real acrobatics. In this volume in particular several treasures can be found that are not often played.
