Description
Diderot String Quartet Haydn: String Quartet in G Major, Op. 33/No. 5, "How do you do?"Mozart: String Quartet in G Major, KV 465 (‘Dissonant’)Haydn: String Quartet in C Major, Op. 50/No. 2, "Prussian"This program illustrates how two of the most beloved giants of Western music were not only dear friends, but inspired each other to new musical heights. When Mozart arrived in Vienna in 1781, Haydn had just published his ground-breaking set of six quartets of Opus 33. Mozart, an admiring and studious teenager, learned all he could from these pioneering works. Four years later he was ready to publish his own set of six quartets, known as the ‘Haydn Quartets’ thanks to their heartfelt dedication. Haydn, deeply impressed, continued his output of masterful quartets and perhaps was even influenced by his younger colleague’s genius. Listening to the quartets on this program, you may feel like you are reading an intimate exchange of letters.
