description
According to Roger Hickman, Hoffmeister composed and published 34 string quartets between 1781 and 1806. The three Op. 14 Quartets were advertised in the Wiener Zeitung on 15th January, 1791, as the composer's newest works. They were dedicated to M. Joseph de Preuer Senior, a lawyer resident in Linz. Although modest in scope and emotional depth, all three works reveal Hoffmeister as a craftsman of refined musical sensibilities. They show a clear grasp of the conversational style of the genre, as cultivated especially by Haydn, and reveal a kinship with the Mozartian string quartet style in their translucent scoring and easy melodiousness. Taken together, the freshness and vitality of all three Op. 14 Quartets make them worthwhile additions to the eighteenth-century Viennese quartet repertoire.
