HAYDN'S warm, genial nature is reflected in most of his music, especially, perhaps, in his String Quartets, which are of all ' classical' music the most easy-going to hear.
This one is called the ' Hornpipe ' Quartet, because the last Movement dances along much in that style.
Its other three parts are respectively a piquant opening Movement, based on two contrasted Tunes, then a short and tender song-like piece, with the usual Minuet as Third Movement.
