String Quartets, K. 157, 458 & 589

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Jerusalem Quartet

String Quartets, K. 157, 458 & 589 is a collection of string quartets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1772, 1784 and 1790. They move from early Classical chamber style with transparent textures and clear melodic lines to later quartets that have greater harmonic complexity and denser counterpoint, and they show Mozart's development from youthful clarity to his mature chamber voice.
