String Quartets KV 428 & KV 464

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Leipziger Streichquartett

String Quartets KV 428 and KV 464 are chamber works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1783 and 1785. They are part of his quartets written under the influence of Joseph Haydn and are in the Classical style, with balanced phrase shapes, clear tonal design, contrapuntal textures and moments of chromatic surprise that anticipate his later harmonic language.
