String Quartet No. 58 in F Major, Op. 74, No. 2, FHE No. 29, Hoboken No. 73

Joseph Haydn

1732–1809

One of the great architects of classical music, this Austrian composer helped shape the symphony and string quartet into the forms listeners still recognize today. His music can feel witty, warm, and full of invention, whether in intimate chamber works or grand late masterpieces like The Creation.
