Overview
Haydn’s Op. 55 Nos. 1 and 3, while both cast in major keys, stand poles apart in expression: the First is propelled by joyful melodies, the Third runs a far more introspective course. Janáček decanted his ecstatic love for a much younger woman into his ‘Intimate Letters’, a Hagen Quartet favourite.
