Music Chat: Haydn's Most Extraordinary String Quartet

It may not have the catchiest name, but Haydn's String Quartet in C Major, Op. 54 No 2 is one of those astonishing creations--both formally and expressively--that leave you gasping in wonder. In this chat, I offer a guided tour of the entire quartet, with plenty of musical examples to let the music shine--and does it ever! Musiical Examples courtesy of Naxos Records.
