Haydn's quartets Opus,17, 20, and especially Op.33. In1782, Mozart also began a thorough study of the works of Bach and Handel at the urging of Baron van Swieten. These did not include any string quartets, yet their influence on the "Haydn" quartets is obvious and strong. Of course, Mozart was also acquainted with the quartets of Richter, Dittersdorf, Vanhal, and the other Mannheim and Viennese composers, but in the "Haydn" quartets he is moving away from their ideas.
