image that comes to mind when thinking of Beethoven is probably a stern-faced,
wild-haired man, deep in existential angst. But one of Beethoven’s great
inspirations, particularly in his early days, was Haydn, that famously jocular
father of the string quartet. Today’s we’ll hear that lighter, “Haydn-esque”
side of Beethoven through two of his chamber works.
