String Quartets Volume 2 Early Viennese Quartets Book

Urtext Edition

"Mozart - String Quartets Volume 2: Early Viennese Quartets" is a critical Urtext edition that brings together the six quartets composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1773, cataloged as K. 168-173. These quartets, often referred to as the "Early Viennese Quartets," were originally organised into a unified series by Mozart's father, Leopold Mozart. This edition, prepared by Mozart expert Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, includes a full score and individual parts, with careful attention to correcting previous inaccuracies in dynamics and articulation.

The work benefits from new research on the chronology of these compositions, offering a more accurate and assured musical text. Artistic input from the renowned Armida Quartet has also contributed to making this edition a benchmark in the ongoing Mozart Edition.
