Program:
Mozart Quartet in G minor, K. 478, for piano, violin, viola, and cello and Quartet in E-flat major, K. 493, for piano, violin, viola, and cello
Friends of Mozart concludes its 2013-14 season with performances of both of Mozart’s piano quartets, masterpieces written in 1785 and 1786, less than nine months apart. The works are renowned for a balance of concerto-like piano writing and intimate string chamber music idiom. This piano quartet concert is presented on the modern grand piano and violin, viola, and cello, to illustrate the distinct range of expressive possibilities afforded by contemporary instruments.
