for String Quartet K. 387, 421, 458, 428, 464, 465, 499, 575, 589, 590

Description:

This edition presents the ten most celebrated string quartets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, recognized as his most significant contributions to the genre. These works are among the most frequently performed in the string quartet repertoire and are grouped by chronology and stylistic development:

- The six "Haydn" Quartets: K. 387, 421, 458, 428, 464, and 465 - The "Hoffmeister" Quartet: K. 499 - The three "Prussian" Quartets: K. 575, 589, and 590

Edited by Ludwig Finscher, this Urtext edition is based on the latest scholarly research and includes clean performance parts for all four instruments. With its detailed introduction and authoritative notation, it offers professional ensembles and serious amateurs a reliable edition for study and performance.

Performance Tips:

• The "Haydn" Quartets demand refined ensemble communication and stylistic sensitivity.
• The "Dissonance" Quartet (K. 465) opens with striking harmonic ambiguity, requiring careful tuning and balance.
• The "Prussian" Quartets were written with a cello-playing king in mind; pay special attention to the melodic prominence of the cello parts.

About the Composer:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) was one of the greatest composers of the Classical period. His string quartets, especially those dedicated to Haydn, reflect a perfect balance of form, expression, and innovation. These quartets reveal Mozart’s deep understanding of string instruments and his ability to write with both elegance and complexity.

演奏提示：

• K.465〈不協和〉開頭和聲極具張力，須注意音準與和聲色彩。
• 「普魯士四重奏」為了普魯士國王所寫，大提琴部位特別重要，演奏時應突顯其旋律性。
