N2  - "Although many composers have written string quartets, only a few have possessed an intrinsic mastery of the medium. Of these Haydn was the first and, Hans Keller submits, in one definable sense the greatest, virtually the founder of the most expressive form of Western instrumental composition.
Since his childhood Hans Keller was a passionate devotee of the string quartet and her he interprests 45 by Haydn, primarily from the point of view of the player ('every string player ought to know the 45 at least as well as every responsible pianist knows the "48" '). However, his ideas will give insight not only to players at all levels - professional and amateur - but also to serious music lovers with analytic or interpretive inclinations." -- Inside dust jacket
