Richard Atkinson discusses the spectacular, brilliantly-constructed, monothematic finale of Haydn’s Op. 76 No. 1 string quartet in G major, including its frivolous, flippant, classic Haydn gag-ending. This is a fair use educational commentary that uses excerpts from the following recordings/performances:

Quatuor Mosaïques

Haydn String Quartet, Op. 74 No. 2:
Festetics Quartet

Haydn Symphonies 94 and 101:
Heidelberger Sinfoniker, Thomas Fey

Rossini: The Barber of Seville, Act I: Figaro's Aria "Largo al factotum"
