Artist:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Title:
String Quartets / Adagio



Details:
A father having resolved to send his sons into the great world finds it advisable to entrust them to the protection And guidance of a highly celebrated man the more so since this man by a stroke of luck is his best friend. Here then celebrated man And my dearest friend are my six sons. In dedicating his last set of six string quartets to Joseph Haydn Mozart in a sense was paying a special debt of gratitude. Haydn's Russian Quartets composed in 1781 had left a lasting impression on the younger composer leading him to say that he had learned everything about this demanding form from his mentor. Moreover they provided the impulse And inspiration for Mozart to compose six new quartets of his own. These quartets were not written on commission Or for some public occasion as most of his compositions thereafter had to be; they were born simply of an inner urge.
