Summary of This Score
This volume gathers the youthful works through which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart laid the foundations of his writing for string quartet, a genre that would later become central in his catalogue. It includes the remarkable "Lodi" Quartet KV 80, composed when he was only fourteen years old, as well as the three "Quartet-Divertimenti" KV 136-138, highly appreciated and frequently performed, notably in chamber orchestra arrangements. The collection is completed by the first "true" cycle of string quartets KV 155-160, written during the third trip to Northern Italy (1772/73), where one can already perceive a growing mastery of voice balance, thematic development, and dialogue between parts.
Designed as a particularly meticulous Urtext edition, this publication is based on first-hand sources: Mozart's autograph scores have been preserved for all pieces, providing a solid foundation for the establishment of the text. Editor Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, a recognized Mozart specialist, offers rigorous editorial work and an instructive critical apparatus, with very detailed insights on articulations and their notation. The production of this collection also benefited from artistic collaboration with the Armida Quartet, a valued asset for musicians seeking a reliable, coherent score thoughtfully conceived for practical use.
