Pleyel Quartet Koln - Wolf:String Quartets

At a time when Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and others were making significant contributions to the modern string quartet, Wolf harked back to an older form of composition, emulating the Northern and Central German quadro, a trio sonata with an additional melody part. The three quartets of the op. 3 series are the pinnacle of Wolf's quartet oeuvre.
