String Quartet No. 2 (Mozart)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's String Quartet No. 2 in D major, K. 155/134a, is thought to have been composed in the autumn of 1772 in Bolzano, while Mozart and his father were touring Italy.[1] The opening movement is notable for its unusual (at the time) key changes and its use of the interrupted Cadence.

Movements

[edit]

The quartet has three movements:

  1. Allegro
  2. Andante in A major
  3. Molto Allegro
