Beautiful renditions of this lovely quartet by our papa...

[@australianstringquartet959]

Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed the performance.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Yes it it an enjoyable performance, though not sure who ‘…our papa’ is; the quartet was composed by Joseph Haydn.

[@ferdinangenius]

@@elaineblackhurst1509 Mrs, you know perfectly well that even in Haydn times he was called in that way as a way to express affection, as i do.. A little less of pedantry could be welcome.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

@@ferdinangenius Stating that the composers name is Joseph Haydn rather than the patronising, condescending and disrespectful ‘…our papa’ is not pedantry. Whilst the term was occasionally used appropriately by the very few people entitled so to do in the 18th century, even by the 1790’s, Beethoven’s circle was using it as a term of ridicule and contempt as shown by the story related by Ferdinand Ries about the trick played on ‘…old Father Haydn’ regarding who had completed some of Beethoven’s counterpoint exercises. You get a better sense of my objection to the term when put into context and into English; ‘Papa’ is worth mention only as a minor footnote in a biography in the same way that Schubert referred to Salieri as ‘Grosspapa’. Far too many commentators on KZbin think Joseph and Papa (plus the ludicrous ‘Franz’) are synonymous - they are not, and back to my original reply, you are absolutely right - ‘Beautiful renditions of this lovely quartet…’ [by Joseph Haydn].
