Franz Josef “Papa” Haydn (1732-1809) contributed one of the most famous string quartets ever written in his Opus 76, Number 3. It received the name Kaiserquartett (Emperor Quartet) due to the quoting in the second movement from his previously written anthem to the Emperor. Friedrich Lux (1820-1895) maintains the tenderness and delicacy of the melody throughout an adds a brief climactic passage at the end. Moderately easy.
