I think Haydn was the father of the string quartet. The minuette reminds me of the 3rd Brandenburg concerto, 3rdViv movt, and the Trio reminds a bit of Vivaldi's 4 seasons, maybe Summer, from the four seasons, the famous 3rd movement.
The only thing this quartet reminds me of is Haydn himself - he was one of the most impervious of all composers to outside influences, and stated clearly that CPE Bach was the only mentor he acknowledged; he would have been astonished at your list of ‘reminds me of…’. The Menuetto of course is absolutely nothing of the sort; like Beethoven’s Symphony 1 where the composer is equally disingenuous, this movement is clearly a one-in-a-bar Scherzo, a movement that would be destroyed utterly by playing it as a three in a bar Minuet.
El cuarteto es hermoso y los músicos extraordinarios!!!❤
so inventive, full of interest, charm and the unexpected. Such a great musical innovator.
magnifico Haydn!
A masterpiece!

No composer is self made, and I don't trust Haydn to be honest about that. @elaineblackhurst1509
