Franz Joseph Haydn Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (81–90)

String Quartet No. 80 in E-flat majorFranz Joseph Haydn85rank/position

J. Haydn – Hob III:80 – String Quartet Op. 76 No. 6 in E flat major
String Quartet No. 80 in E-flat majorFranz Joseph Haydn

The first movement is in E-flat major, in 2/4 time, and takes the form of a theme and variations, with the structure treated quite freely.

The second movement is in B major, 3/4 time.

B major is unusual compared to the original key of E-flat major, and perhaps because the piece undergoes rapid and frequent modulations, returning to the main theme after many key changes, no key signature is written in the score.
