The divertimento style and instrumental character of Haydn’s early quartets does not necessarily evoke strings, and thus arrangement for other instruments is natural and might expand enjoyment of these wonderful first significant Haydn works to other players and audiences. Haydn’s Quartet Op.1, No.1 has been arranged by John W. Pratt as an effective clarinet quartet for either three Bb-clarinets and bass clarinet, or two Bb-clarinets, alto Eb-clarinet and bass clarinet.
