Haydn: Q uartets listed by Hoboken number
Three systems of numeration for Haydn quartets are in common use. One enumerates single works, one enumerates
collections of works by “op us num ber,” an d one (“H oboken” ) assigns an arbitrary num ber to single works for
bibliographical reference. This listing is ordered by the first, with cross-references to the other two.
Most Hayd n quartets in the MuseData database come from early nineteenth-century editions, especially those by
Trautwein, Pleyel, and Bremmer. Quartet numbers which are commonly used in modern performing editions and
recordings reflect the arbitrary assignment of opus numbers usage by more recent publishers. Early publishers tended
to group works in different clusters from those of modern publishers. The order in which the works were arranged
varied from one collection to the next. Not all works were called “string quartets” on their first appearance.
Beca use the numbering systems are multiple and we have taken works from diverse series of early prints, we have
listed works here by Hoboken number. This number consists of a Roman numeral prefix in which III=the string
quartet category and an Arabic numeral ind icating the approximate orde r in which the work was composed or assumed
to be composed. Some numbered works are now known to be spurious and should be excluded in analytical
applications.
RISM designations are from the comprehensive RISM catalogue of early prints, Series A (link to
http://www .rism.harvard.edu/rism/publications.html#Series A) a nd are given only to clarify the ide ntity of early
editions used in encoding. In this system H indicates the letter-class in which Haydn’s name falls. The number
following indicates the number assigned by bibliographers to a particu lar print. Most Haydn quartets were published
in small groups of works, so one print number m ay pertain to several works.
Where no equivalents are given, the work has not yet been encoded.
