What does FHE stand for? Something Haydn Edition? I've never heard of it, I think a note explaining it would be useful. --Camembert

[edit] Encoding of Flats and Sharps

It seemed like a nice idea to add html encoding to get the 'flat' and 'sharp' characters to show up, but the encoding does not work (at least on my machine). All I get is a faint empty square. 66.63.144.242

[edit] Extract

It's nice to hear what these pieces sound like, and here's a link to a right's cleared extract of Op 33 no 2: The Joke

I'd like to add this link in to the article, but it seems slightly unusual to add an external link to the middle where the piece appears, and adding a whole section to the end seems a bit excessive for one link. I'll leave it here in the talk section while I (and hopefully others) think about where this (and other links) could go. Stephen B Streater 00:04, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opus 64

The 5 extant autographs are dated 1791. So why 1790? (see Webster, James (Jan. 1975). "The Chronology of Haydn's String Quartets". The Musical Quarterly 61 (1): 19 (from 17-46). ISSN 0027-4631. ) Schissel | Sound the Note! 05:31, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] When were the earliest quartets composed?

DOH!: what i came to find, wasn't here to be found. And i might not be the only one. If it's not not known, maybe a note to that effect, and maybe the best guess? Thx, "alyosha" (talk) 03:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
