There is music that will lead you to question the nature of existence, to contemplate the meaning of love and of mortality. This Haydn quartet is not that kind of music, at all: it invites you to celebrate life and friendship. It is full of dancing – mostly of the foot-stomping variety – and some lovely tunes. Note especially the center section of the menuet movement (which, for peculiar historical reasons is called the “trio”), where the first violin is invited by Haydn to exercise their imagination as a soloist, to fool around with speed and volume and keep the rest of the quartet guessing. ~ Warren Davidson
