Haydn and Mozart

Between 1782 and 1785, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote six string quartet to his friend and composer Joseph Haydn.

When Haydn wrote his work 33 in 1781, this is his first time writing a string quartet in a decade.

Haydn thinks that Mozart is a better composer than him. When Mozart died in 1795, he was shocked. When Prince Nicholas died in 1790, his successor had much lower expectations for Haydn. This gives him the opportunity to travel. Haydn seized the opportunity to travel to London at once. After having enjoyed the festival of symphonies for two years, Haydn returned to Vienna and began teaching Beethoven. Both have great mutual respect, but the lesson will not succeed. Haydn immediately returned to London and created six symphony.
