- Try Haydn's String Quartets. Op 20, 64 or 76 at least! Endless invention, great tunes, some disarmingly-beautiful - jdaniel@jps.net 19:05:13 11/29/22 ( 4)
  - Even the Haydn String Quartets which aren't by Haydn are pretty good! - Chris from Lafayette 10:30:18 11/30/22 ( 0)
  - It's interesting how many dismiss the Haydn symphonies... - SE 04:53:48 11/30/22 ( 2)
