Follow on Google News | ![]() Haydn - Quartet, Op.1, No.1 - arranged for Flute QuartetThe earliest string quartets of Haydn are not precursors of the later works wherein he developed the form and style of the classical string quartet, but rather divertimenti written for four friends when he was about 25; they became listed as string quartets by historical accident and convenience. Most of these works have the usual five-movements: John W. Pratt has just completed an arrangement of Haydn's Op.1, No.1 for a flute quartet of two concert flutes, alto flute, and bass flute. Most of the range problems were solved by transposition up a step, a few more by exchanging the two inner parts in places or by octave transpositions. The result is an effective, beautiful adaptation of this delightful early Haydn quartet for flutes.
