Haydn – String Quartet in E flat, Op.20 No.1
Mendelssohn – String Quartet in A minor, Op.13
We highly recommend starting your day with a witty, energetic quartet by Haydn, the first of a set of six that has been grouped as the ‘Sun’ quartets for their genial disposition.
Mendelssohn’s Quartet in A minor, written when the composer was just 18, has its moments of playfulness, yet there is an air of melancholy that emerges that undoubtedly reflects the sense of loss the young man experienced on hearing the news of the death of his great idol, Beethoven.
