Les Quatuors Dédiés à Haydn: Quatuors K387 & K 421

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Quatuor Mosaïques

Les Quatuors Dédiés à Haydn: Quatuors K387 & K421 is a pair of string quartets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1782 and 1783. They are written in the Classical style, with balanced textures, a clear dialogue among the four instruments and marked harmonic development, and they belong to the phase of Mozart's career when he engaged with Haydn's quartet model in his chamber music.
