Although he composed numerous string quartets during the same era as Haydn and Mozart, this recording serves to widely publicize that fact. Opus 2 is truly a masterpiece of the Classical period, on par with Haydn’s works.\n\nWhen Mozart happened to come across a newly published set of scores of Pleyel’s string quartets in 1784, he praised them highly and wrote the following letter to his father: “Pleyel’s works are a real headache for us. They are so well written and a great pleasure to listen to. I think you’ll immediately recognize who Pleyel’s teacher is. If, in time, Pleyel were to occupy the position Haydn holds today, it would be a stroke of good fortune for the musical world.” Mozart may have been referring to the Op. 2 string quartet collection. This collection was published that same year and dedicated to Haydn. It is a magnificent work, rich in melody, and it fully exploits the technical possibilities of the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53530779222305,"sku":"4945604574976","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604574976.jpg?v=1789819088","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604574976","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
