Die sechs Streichquartette op. 2 wurden erstmals 1784 vom Wiener Verleger Graeffer mit einer Widmung an Haydn veröffentlicht. Haydns Meinung zu den Werken ist nicht bekannt, aber er muss beeindruckt gewesen sein von der reichen Vielfalt des thematischen Materials und der Flexibilität und Phantasie, mit der Pleyel mit seinen musikalischen Strukturen umging. Auch Pleyels harmonische Sprache fällt zuweilen mit einigen reizvollen chromatischen Zwischentönen und auch mit einer Reihe unerwarteter Modulationen auf, darunter das Nebeneinander drittverwandter Tonarten, das zu einem der wichtigsten Kennzeichen von Haydns Spätstil werden sollte.

Product Information

The six String Quartets Op. 2 were first published in 1784 by the Viennese publisher Graeffer with a dedication to Haydn. Haydn’s opinion of the works is not known but he must have been impressed by their rich variety of thematic material and the flexibility and imagination with which Pleyel handled his musical structures. Pleyel’s harmonic language is also striking at times with some lovely chromatic shadings and also a number of unexpected modulations including the juxtaposition of third-related keys which was to become one of the most important hallmarks of Haydn’s late style.
