The present opus marks the end of a long peiod in Haydn's life (Esterhazá) and the opening to the new universe of London. It was during the gestation of op.64 that Haydn's patron, Nikolaus the Magnificent, died in Vienna (1790), and the English concert manager Salomon offered the musician a fortune to embark on the great journey, equipped with new symphonies and quartets. Hence an unusual op.64: four quartets in the Viennese tradition and two quartets conceived for an imagined English audience.
