String Quartets: "The Hunt" / "Dissonance"

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Melos Quartett

This album is a recording of two string quartets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in the mid-1780s. The works exemplify Classical-era chamber music with transparent textures, conversational interplay among the instruments, clear formal structures and lyrical themes punctuated by moments of unexpected harmonic tension, reflecting Mozart's late-period refinement and engagement with contemporary quartet innovations.
