Joseph Haydn (1732 Rohrau/Lower
Austria - 1809 Vienna) added the following remark to his String
Quartets op. 33 (1781) they are  in a completely new style, since it
has been 10 years since I wrote any: ''auf eine gantz neu Besondere
Art, denn seit 10 Jahren habe keine geschrieben''. The novelty of these
works can be seen in Haydn's exceptional creativity and his surprising
harmonic and melodic ingenuity. In the musical example, Quartet No. 3 ,
for instance, he "builds" the main theme from a short bird's cry
(characterized by the short appoggiaturas) which is why the quartet is
known as ''The Bird''. Such new effects seem to have had a good
effect on his contemporaries, since the String Quartets, op. 33 became
the best-selling musical publication of the 18th c within just 2 years.
