Hawk Of light Haydn was obviously playing the piano version and did indeed spend time playing around with the harmonies. By 1809, he was extremely frail and housebound, but the context was the French invasion of Vienna. Explosions had shaken Haydn’s house which left the old man seized with trembling and his servants frightened: ‘Children, don’t be frightened, for where Haydn is, no harm can come to you’, he told them. He had already been visited by a French officer who very movingly, sang to him ‘In native worth’ from The Creation’; in truth, Haydn was living in a war zone with his city being invaded. Haydn had heard ‘God save the King’ in England and seen its impact as a national song; he wrote ‘Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser’* - ie the famous melody of this quartet movement and now the German national anthem - as a patriotic people’s song for his own country. The song came first, the quartet soon after. Haydn did indeed call it a ‘Volkslied’ - people’s song - but he came to think of it as a sort of prayer; given the sound of cannon all around, it was obviously an appropriate piece to play. On 26 May 1809, he played the Emperor’s Hymn three times over, took to his bed - which he never left - and died peacefully in his sleep soon after midnight on 31 May. Hope that explains Why? * Take the first letter of each word but change the German Kaiser to the Latin equivalent Caesar - you have G E F D C; now look at the opening notes of the Violino 1 part.

riverstun Dude I just need to let you know, this made me laugh so hard. I clicked on show responses expecting a rather unfunny German joke and to my pleasant and unexpected surprise I found your comment. Please just know, this brightened my mood to an obscure level.
The second movement is one of the best examples of true music from the classical period ever written. I love the fact that it was also called ‘Austria’ for Prince Esterhàzy and later the Austrian Empire anthem under Franz I after first being the German Holy Roman Empire anthem (with the same monarch). Later being readopted by Germany in 1922. It had to be dropped by Austria in 1945 because of allied pressure. When listening to this you don't need words (they were changed many times) or countries, it transcends all this and makes us think about humanity. It was the last tune Haydn ever played on the piano and apparently his favourite. I’m sure it influenced his young pupil Beethoven.
Martin Riley Some muddled history in your comment. To clarify: Haydn had heard ‘God Save the King’ many times whilst in England between 1791 and 1795; he was very moved by this first experience of a ‘national anthem’. On his return to Austria, in short, he wrote a national song* for his own country, ‘Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser’, which was first performed in 1797. Haydn’s Volkslied (people’s song) melody later became the German National anthem in 1922, and as is well known, remains so today; it was dropped by Austria in 1945 after some pressure from the Allies. The melody has also been used as a hymn tune. Did you spot the musical cryptogram at the start of the first movement ? (Spell out the notes of the first five notes in the 1st violin part, but change Kaiser to Caesar resulting in G E F D C). * I use the word ‘song’ in its correct Oxford English Dictionary meaning, not the horrible modern mutilation so widely mis-used across the world today where some think it can be used in place of the generic ‘work’ or ‘piece’, or the even more asinine usage instead of symphony, concerto, sonata, and so forth.

You are trying to rewrite history by denying that Haydn - and Mozart too - we’re not Austrian; they remain separate countries today, and only Hitler enforced an Anschluss between the two countries in modern times. Your point is inaccurate, unhelpful and confusing to anyone attempting to learn about the origin of this piece of music.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 Well, Mozart actually was from Salzburg which didn't belong to Austria then and Haydn worked much in the Burgenland which then was part of Hungary.
Haydn heard ‘God Save the King’ often during his time in England between 1791 and 1795; on his return to Vienna, he wrote a national song (or anthem as we would call them today) for his own country ‘Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser’ and it was first performed in 1797 and caught on immediately. Haydn then took the song and used it as the basis of the beautiful set of theme and variations that is the second movement of his string quartet Opus 76 No 3; the song came first, the quartet second. Its later history was as you say, and included being adopted into most English-language hymn books under the name ‘Austria’, and usually to the words beginning: ‘Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God…’ In 1922, Haydn’s song was adopted as the German national anthem and as such it remains today, though after WW2, under some pressure from the Allies apparently, it was dropped by Austria.
By the way the playing is sublime, please tell those who performed this it really is fantastic, also who recorded it, thank, you although I felt the cello should have come out more in the second movement, and the other principle lines for each variation. Its hard to meet perfection ...

Most were barely better and I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone that he wrote for 30 more years than Mozart did. This one is good though.

It is very good. I really enjoyed it.
forever~~~~~~~textbook of the stringquartet composition~!!
I recognize the theme from mvmt 2 as a hymn tune in the Episcopal and other hymnals. (Although this quartet would be the source for it.)
And also the Habsburg Anthem as well as the current German national anthem
