The six quartets that we present today (whose manuscripts are kept by the Cervera Regional Historic Archive) were written, in our opinion, before 1801, date of release of the only quartet that was published during the author’s lifetime. Although there is no evidence of it in the Royal Chapel’s archives, we can assume that they were written to be performed at the Royal Chapel or for the author’s chapel colleagues’ private use. The quartets, although classical, have a great expressive and – sometimes – dramatic force, that seems to announce the romanticism that could already be made out at the horizon.
