The Joseph Haydn String Quartet in A Major, Op. 55 No.1 Toast II, also known as the "Le Matin" Quartet, is a classical piece of music composed by the renowned Austrian composer Joseph Haydn. Composed in the mid-1780s, this piece is part of a set of three string quartets that were commissioned by Johann Tost, a prominent violinist of the time.
The quartet is scored for two violins, viola, and cello, and consists of four movements. The opening movement, marked Allegro, features a lively and energetic melody that is characteristic of Haydn’s style. The second movement, marked Adagio, is a beautiful and expressive piece that showcases the composer’s gift for melody and harmony. The third movement, marked Minuetto, is a dance-like piece that is gentle and playful. Finally, the quartet ends with a lively and upbeat Finale marked Presto.
The piece gets its nickname "Toast II" from the opening of the quartet, which features a rhythmic pattern that was commonly associated with toasting at the time. The quartet is also known as the "Le Matin" Quartet due to the sunrise-like sound of the opening melody. The quartet is widely regarded as one of the composer’s most refined works, heralding a new, more mature style that he would continue to develop over the rest of his career.
The Joseph Haydn String Quartet in A Major, Op. 55 No.1 Toast II is a testament to the enduring appeal of classical music. Over two hundred years after its composition, the piece is still widely performed and admired for its beauty, energy, and complexity. It remains one of Haydn’s most popular works, and a cornerstone of the string quartet repertoire.
