String Quartets: K465 "Dissonance" / K499 "Hoffmeister"

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Belcea Quartet

String Quartets K.465 and K.499 are chamber compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1785 and 1786 respectively. Both quartets exemplify Mozart's mature Classical style, combining conversational writing for the four instruments with bold harmonic moments and textural contrasts that reflect his engagement with contemporary quartet practice and the influence of Haydn.
First released: 2006
