Engraved music plate number 77 in 4 parts engraved title on front wrapper. Folio. Franz Joseph Haydn 1732-1809 was born in Austria. Known as the 'father of the symphony' adnd 'father of the quartet' his work was eclipsed by that of Beethoven until the late twentieth century when much of his music finally became available in modern editions. <br /> <br /> It has been argued that while he did not 'invent' the quartet he was "certainly the first composer to appreciate their potential . and Haydn projected an unequalled mastery of the language of music." Oxford Dictionary of National Biography<br /> <br /> These string quartets in A major F minor and B-flat major are written for two violins viola and cello and were written in 1788 for Haydn's violinist friend Johann Tost.

RISM H3816.<br /> <br /> Originally composed for baryton trio in 1768 during Haydn's period of service to Nikolaus I Prince Esterházy 1714-1790 here cast in a version for violin viola and cello. <br /> <br /> Antonio Zatta fl. late 18th century was an Italian printer and publisher. "He was in business with his sons under the name 'Antonio Zatta e figli Librai e Stampatori veneti' with premises in Venice 'al traghetto di S Barnaba'; theirs was the largest engraving works in the city their activity dating back to about 1750. . From 1786 the firm began printing on its own press from engraved plates a weekly piece of instrumental music for sale by subscription; in the following years this initiative expanded to include trios duos quartets symphonies or sonatas for various instruments and even vocal pieces issued on a monthly basis. In the letters circulated to 'professori e dilettanti di musica' inviting them to become subscribers the firm explained the preponderance of instrumental music by the fact that Italy 'abounds without doubt more in professional and amateur players than in singers.' Instrumental works by Corelli Bertoni Boccherini Capuzzi Andreozzi Cirri Cambini Pichl Fodor Stabinger Grazioli Haydn Mozart and Salieri and vocal pieces arias by Cimarosa Guglielmi Paisiello Anfossi Naumann Gazzaniga Borghi Traetta and Piccinni were printed and published. Many of Zatta's editions were reprints from German or Viennese publications especially of Hoffmeister's a publisher with whom Zatta had connections. Zatta also published didactic methods Pfeiffer La bambina al cembalo and music theory. After 1788 all editorial activity ceased but Zatta continued to trade in music publications. One of Antonio's daughters Marina married the publisher Sebastiano Valle who continued the work of the Zatta family until about 1806." Mariangela Donà in Grove Music Online.

RISM H2563<br /> <br /> Laurette to a libretto by Francesco Puttini was first performed on 25 April 1779. <br /> <br /> "Contrary to claims made by Haydn's early biographers insufficent evidence supports the hypothesis that Haydn wrote this opera to fulfill an imperial commission for Vienna. The libretto represents a considerably shortened version of Puttini's text for Anfossi 1776 Rome already somewhat condensed especially in Act 3 for performances later that year in Venice as La pescatrice fedele and in Vienna 1777. Andrea Totti who sang Count Errico in Venice also performed in Haydn's opera at Eszterháza. . The opera was subsequently performed as Der flatterhafte Liebhaber oder Der Sieg der or Die wahre Beständigkeit in Pressburg Bratislava 1786-7 Budapest 1789 Vienna 1790 and Brno 1792 and with numerous changes as Laurette in Paris 1791." Caryl Clark in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> "La vera costanza 1778-9 is the subject of implausible and conflicting anecdotes in Griesinger and Dies according to which it was originally commissioned for the Burgtheater in Vienna but scuttled by intrigue neither Joseph II nor his musicians were well-disposed towards Haydn; in fact it had its première at Eszterháza on April 25 1779. It was lost in the fire that largely destroyed the Eszterháza opera theatre on November 18 1779; the surviving version represents Haydn's reconstruction of the work from 1785."

RISM H3494 two copies only in North America one in Britain and none in France or Italy. <br /> <br /> The fourth quartet in this group in F sharp minor is regarded as one of Haydn's finest. "It shows for the first time in the quartets Haydn's definite renunciation of tragic ends to sonata movements and his now typical association of the minor mode with a passionate somewhat blustering temper ending with a recapitulation in these circumstances regular in the tonic major so that everything turns out well. . In striking contrast to the happy end of the first movement the final fugue quietest and deepest of all the . instrumental fugues since Bach strikes a note so tragic that Beethoven's C sharp minor quartet is the first thing that one can connect with it."

It occupies a central position in choral literature and its composition and first performances were the dominant features of Haydn's life in the late 1790s."
