The genre of the string quartet existed before this publication, but the Sun Quartets transformed it into the form that listeners will recognize today. Between a formal structure that promoted clearer development of melodic ideas, and Haydn finding a greater balance in the instruments (making the work sound like a proper ensemble piece), these quartets marked not just the foundation of what Haydn would build off of for his more famous collections, but what Beethoven and his brethren would build off of as well. Personal favorites would be the fourth and fifth quartets in this collection.
