W. A. Mozart - KV 80 (73f) - String Quartet No. 1 in G major

Super !

Thanks for uploading!

This recording is way off. I'm hearing it in D-flat instead of the intended G.

You are right in the second part of your comment, maxco: you are hearing it in D-flat.

Good music..

How something so simple can be so beautiful...Mozart is almost unreal.

soo relaxing

yassss

Beautiful and very simple

bellissimo Mozart è unico

The last movement is my favorite string quartet movement ever. To think that Mozart was only 13 when he wrote this. The man was truly a genius.

I agree with Angelo de Oliveira , 2 years ago

While the experts quibble of what key it is, or was, I love the sound.

A simplicidade é bela!

Damn! It's half tone lower....

Mozarts The first tour to Italy with his father Leapold in 1769 he was 13 yrs old the first stop on the southward journey was at Lodi, where Wolfgang completed his first string quartet, K. 80/73f.[25] After a few days in Parma, The Mozarts moved on to Bologna, a "centre for masters, artists and scholars", according to Leopold.[25] Their letter from Firmian introduced them to Count Pallavicini-Centurioni, a leading patron of the arts, who immediately arranged a concert for the local nobility in his palace. Among the guests was Giovanni Battista Martini, the leading musical theorist of his day and Europe's most renowned expert in Baroque counterpoint.[25] Martini received the young composer and tested him with exercises in fugue. Always with an eye upon Wolfgang's future prospects in the courts of Europe, Leopold was anxious for engagement with the great master; but time was short, so he arranged a return to Bologna in the summer for extended tuition.[26] The pair left on 29 March, carrying letters from Pallavicini that might clear the way for an audience with Pope Clement XIV in Rome.[27] Before they left, they made the acquaintance of the Czech composer Josef Mysliveček, whose opera La Nitteti was being prepared for performance. Later in 1770, Wolfgang would use the Mysliveček opera as a source of motives for his own opera Mitridate, re di Ponto and various symphonies. More broadly, it marked the beginning of a close association between Mysliveček and the Mozart family that lasted until 1778. Wolfgang used his works repeatedly as models of compositional style.[28][29] The next day they arrived in Florence, where Pallavicini's recommendation gained them a meeting at the Palazzo Pitti with the Grand Duke and future emperor Leopold. He remembered the Mozarts from 1768 in Vienna, and asked after Nannerl.[30][31] In Florence they encountered the violinist Pietro Nardini, whom they had met at the start of their grand tour of Europe;[32] Nardini and Wolfgang performed together in a long evening concert at the Duke's summer palace.[30] Wolfgang also met Thomas Linley, an English violin prodigy and a pupil of Nardini's. The two formed a close friendship, making music and playing together "not as boys but as men", as Leopold remarked.[30] Gutman reports that "a melancholy Thomas followed the Mozarts' coach as they departed for Rome on 6 April". The boys never met again; Linley, after a brief career as a composer and violinist, died in a boating accident in 1778, at the age of 22.[33]

beautiful music

I appreciate the placing of the ads in between movements, rather than randomly in the middle of the piece!

Hermoso el adagio inicial.

Unbelievable! Did Mozart really exist?!?!?!?

This is my favorite series of Mozart’s string quartet works

i am primarily a jazz fan. But how I love Mozart!

Mozarts you are beautiful!!! I love you!!!

I like metal/rock but I love Mozart for his elegant melodies and how he connects so many different ideas seamlessly in one piece
