Austrian composer Joseph Haydn wrote approximately 83 string quartets in a 40-year period. His sophistication and craftsmanship helped perfect the classical style of the late 18th century. Haydn’s String Quartet in C Major is built around four variations of Haydn’s own “Emperor’s Hymn.” His thematic explorations expanded the development of functional harmony.
