Between 1782 and 1785, Mozart composed six string quartets, which were subsequently published late in 1785 with a dedication to Joseph Haydn. They represent the pinnacle of Mozart's contribution to the form, a group of works that not only solve the problems of this difficult medium, but which also represent his tribute to the pioneering quartets of his friend and colleague. Thereafter, Mozart would compose only four more string quartets, including this one, subsequently turning his attention to the string quintet.
This isolated D major Quartet (scored for the normal disposition of two violins, viola and cello) was entered in his own thematic catalogue on August 19, 1786, less than two months after the premiere of Le nozze di Figaro. It owes its nickname to the Viennese publisher Franz Anton Hoffmeister, who first issued the quartet in the same year it was composed. Nothing is known of the circumstances of its composition, although it has been suggested that it was commissioned by Hoffmeister, who was also a friend of Mozart's.
Shortly before the composer's death in December, 1791, the quartet was the subject of a review in the journal of the German Philharmonic Society. The reviewer, who was also considering the Piano Quartet in E flat, K. 493, notes that "Both these quartets are written with that fire of the imagination and that correctness, which long since won for Herr M. the reputation of one of the best composers in Germany. The first [the string quartet] consists of four, the second of only three movements, and even the Minuet in the former is composed with an ingenuity (being interwoven with canonic imitations) that one not infrequently finds wanting in other such compositions." It is the Minuet (the second movement) that has subsequently excited particular comment from Mozart's biographers, being described by H. C. Robbins Landon as "one of the most original in eighteenth century music" and by Alfred Einstein as "unique." While the quartet is generally recognized as being less complex than the six "Haydn" Quartets, it remains a work of great beauty, with an Adagio of great profundity, and a final Allegro which treads the ambiguous line between tragedy and comedy that so often characterizes Mozart's later works.

Gods, that moment at 3:02 when you are not sure if it's Alberti bass or a hectic melody anymore. Wolfie is deceiving the expectations so masterfully there.
It is a veiled chromatic descent (C-B-A-G-F#-F) and on top of it is also a canonic imitation of the violin line that begins in bar 107. After Mozart's intense study of Bach's music, his own music also became wonderfully complex in a counterpointal sense.
For my personal reference:

Ah, General Burkhalter, what a pleasure to see you sir.
Play the record Hogan!
I’ve got it why Schoenberg said that he learned how write quartets from Mozart, who had known the musical form as only Bach had, and no one else. Mozart can accommodate a huge number of musical thoughts and their transformations into an enclosed space, which gives the impression of an incredibly intense form. Does it seem like it's Baroque?! And yet: he does not develop the main theme on which everything else depends, but he unites many themes into a perfect unity, it seems as if the music generates itself again and again. And for this reason, his music gives the impression of mysterious abundance, sophistication, eclipsing classicism with its global concept of development - homophony.
Schönberg never learned to write quartets, and he certainly didn't learn it from mozart 🤣 that incompetent sack of garbage couldn't learn anything other than to be a fraud and pretend to be a great composer.
Schoenberg is a lying hack.
Schoenberg learned nothing. If he had, he wouldn't have been as incompetent as he is and always has been.
This is the one Col Klink’s quartet plays on Hogan’s Heroes.
Yeah, yeah, I know...but that WAS what brought me to this beautiful piece.
Also heard it from there. Took me forever to find this piece
Из них в этом где можно не е не знаю 🤷♂️ уснул только на следующий год я на связи ты. Ф
This is one of the greatest pieces ever, and you missed it. It's better than all other strings composition by Mozart, and only the N° 23 is as good, while less moving.
This, along with Beethoven's 12th Quartet (Op 127) is my favourite quartet among many I appreciate much. As a teenager I bought it played by the Heutling Quartet on HMV many years ago - sublime.
I have to say that despite the Amadeus Quartet's lofty reputation concerning their dedication to Mozart's Quartets (I have their complete set on Deutsche Grammophon) I have never been fond of them.
Thanks!!
Very good! Thank you :-)
This Quartet in D-major by Mozart was completed on 19 August 1786 - whilst Thomas Attwood was up to his eyes in Fuxian Counterpoint Studies (6-days s week at 3:30pm) and was offered to the Viennese publisher Hoffmeister-it sits in between the 6-Quartets dedicated to Joseph Haydn & the 3-Quartets commission’d by Frederic Wilhelm II King of Prussia - and is full of Fuxian Contrapuntal games & nuances no doubt of interest to M.’s young English pupil...
wow!
