The Flute Quartets KV 285, 285a, 285b, 298

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Jean‐Pierre Rampal & Trio Pasquier

The Flute Quartets K.285, K.285a, K.285b and K.298 are a set of chamber works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed between 1777 and 1786. Scored for flute and a string trio, these Classical-era quartets employ graceful, galant textures and refined dialogue between the solo instrument and strings, representing Mozart's engagement with wind chamber music and sitting stylistically between his earlier divertimenti and his later mature chamber pieces.
