String Quartets - Volume X Op. 76 by Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809). Edited by Horst Walter. For String Quartet. String Quartets. Henle Music Folios. Pages: Vl I Part = VI and 53 * Vl II Part = 43 * Va Part = 37 * Vc Part = 39. Softcover. 196 pages. G. Henle #HN214. Published by G. Henle (HL.51480214).
“Masterly and full of new ideas”: thus the Swedish ambassadorial secretary Silverstolpe when he first heard these pieces in 1797. Haydn's friend, the music historian Charles Burney, reported in 1799 that he had “never taken greater pleasure in instrumental music.” Our new edition of these six works, including the famous “Emperor Quartet,” follows the text of the complete edition prepared by the Haydn Institute in Cologne. Both the study edition (HN 9214) and the set of parts (HN 214) have highly informative notes on the source materials and alternative readings. Fold-out pages in the parts allow for optimum page turns.

Fun Enjoyable music to Play
Good music for string quartet. The music easily flows. Some parts (such as 1st Violin) are a little difficult but tend to be manageable. Also, the amount of music contained in this book is extensive being 6 different sets(opus) for performing.
