About "Haydn: String Quartet in C Major, Op. 76 No. 3, Hob. III:77 "Emperor": I. Allegro" by Alban Berg Quartett
Haydn's 'Emperor' opens with stately grandeur, the Alban Berg Quartett carving marble from the first phrase. The Allegro balances ceremonial weight with intimate conversation, a throne room that suddenly feels like a parlor. Beneath the poise, a current of restless invention pulls at the seams.
