String Quartets no. 22, KV 589 & no. 23 KV, 590

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Alban Berg Quartett

String Quartets No. 22, KV 589 and No. 23, KV 590 are two late string quartets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1790. They exemplify Classical-era chamber music with transparent textures and balanced conversational writing between the four instruments, combining lyrical melodic lines with contrapuntal passages and representing some of Mozart's final contributions to the string quartet repertoire and his mature harmonic and structural approach.

First released: 1990
