Summary of This Score
Each of the 6 x 4 movements is a gem in itself: these string quartets, which Mozart worked on with particular care, form a central body of the repertoire and an essential milestone for any string quartet. Dedicated to Joseph Haydn, often regarded as the "inventor" of the quartet, they have left a lasting mark on the history of chamber music, having been reprinted countless times since their first edition in 1785.
This Henle Urtext edition emphasizes musical clarity and textual accuracy. Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, responsible for the critical apparatus dedicated to the "Haydn" quartets within the new edition of Mozart's works, offers here an independent publication of this corpus. The editorial work aims to resolve numerous inaccuracies transmitted by some earlier editions, notably in dynamics and phrasing, and even corrects engraving errors that had previously gone unnoticed.
Designed to meet the expectations of performers, this score also stands out for its readability and a layout conceived for both rehearsal and concert use. The turns are placed at the most suitable points, a practical advantage to preserve musical continuity and playing comfort during ensemble work.
