Three famous quartets by Haydn, Mozart and Tchaikovsky. Haydn’s Op. 77, No. 1 contains two movements with nationalistic themes – the first movement a Hungarian recruiting song, and the last movement a Croation round dance. Mozart’s brilliant Quartet in D minor, K.421 is operatic in nature – complete with scenery, characters, ironic asides, laughs, hiccups, and sighs. Tchaikovsky’s first quartet is the first noteworthy Russian chamber music, it contains one of classical music’s greatest hits – the Andante, and according to Tchaikovsky’s own diary it moved Tolstoy to tears.
