Quartet N. 4 in A Major, K.298 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Quartet N. 4 in A Major, K.298 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The elegance of W. A, Mozart (1756-1791) is presented to us in an excerpt from one of his quartets for transverse flute. The innocent and calm melody receives a dynamism proper to childhood in its second movement, when the harmony plays with the melody in a more rhythmic and lively tempo.

The Vienna of the 18th century, full of life, harmonious and joyful, welcoming and friendly, was probably one of the most musical cities in Europe at its time. It is enough to say that it gave birth to the one who is considered the "king of music": Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a composer who certainly knew, more than any other, how to express in music the good values of his century: delicacy, gentleness and innocent nobility.

Mozart’s "Quartet in A Major," composed in Vienna in August 1773 and performed here by the Heralds of the Gospel, is the first of the three movements of this quartet.
