    Overview

    Haydn’s String Quartet in G Op. 77 No. 1, one of apair of quartets written for Prince Lobkowitz in 1799,opens with what Hans Keller called an ‘anti-march’,a rhythmic movement made lyrical by the refinedquality of its melodic themes.

    The SchumannQuartet pairs the work with Dvořák’s String Quartetin E flat Op. 51, created with the sounds of Czechfolk melodies in mind.
