String Quartets K. 387 & 421

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Emerson String Quartet

String Quartets K. 387 & 421 are a pair of chamber works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1782 and 1783. They exemplify Classical string quartet writing with refined interplay among the four instruments, increased use of counterpoint and harmonic invention, and form part of Mozart's mature Viennese output that advances his engagement with the quartet genre.
