Mozart - The 2 Piano Quartets K. 478 & 493 (1785-86)

[@airpanache]

Is there any music better than these? These are such underrated works that should be played more more often along with Mozart's piano concertos, his string quintets, clarinet quintet, the string trio, the Da Ponte operas and the late symphonies as the best of the best.

[@davidlillis8619]

Lovely, especially 478! We are fortunate to have Mozart’s music in the world. Bravissimo Herr Mozart! David Alexander Lillis. Eastbourne, Lower Hutt, New Zealand. 11 October 2024

Definitely some of the best works by Mozart.

[@jakobhofmann7465]

The development is an incredibly beauty :)) 6:07

[@Michaelhanmusic]

The melody at 23:52 makes me so happy :)

[@LightHolmes]

What a beautiful piece of music. Heard this on a show and immediately fell in love with it. Looked it up in no time. Now I can't get enough of it. Thank you for uploading and including the music sheet.

[@vittoriomarano8230]

...beautiful is too little...come on!

[@gaboelexo]

51:28 the tension is just to overwhelming, what a beautiful piece.

[@GSHAPIROY]

The E-Flat Major quartet is one of my favorite chamber works, and I like this performance of it.

[@michelcamachomusic]

I'm surprised nobody heard the perfect reference to Bach's little prelude in C bwv 924 at 26:00 transposed and amazingly used as an accompaniment while the strings play the melody. This moment always make me think about how good Mozart knew and studied Bach music.

[@ZachDrake5960]

Well as a child, Mozart did meet Bach's youngest son. So I imagine that Mozart learned a thing from him.

[@robbystafford8273]

one must also consider that this is indeed a generic sequence of chords, not just used in the Bach prelude. this exact progression with dissonances resolving in this archetypical manner is found all over the 18th C. Yes, it was a look backwards to the baroque for Mozart, and indeed, he studied Bach, but it's possible he didn't even know that specific prelude. Once you listen to more of this music you will hear it pop-up al over the place. i remember being enchanted with it early in life when i first played the one in c major by Bach, and delighted to hear it again and again

15:08 *Ese La bemol en el compás 12 en el piano, sin duda hace toda la diferencia y le da el toque emocional.*

the development sections in these works are just astoundingly good

The version recorded by Christian Zacharias is more refined anyway...🎼🎹

28:45 that bVI gets me everytime! Dr. Robert Greenberg mentions it as one of the most sublime moments in Mozart's music composition in his lecture series on Mozart's chamber music.

2:06 Gaster's theme (Undertale/deltarune nerd)(it's there if you connect the ending of the first phrase and start of the second)

[@amse9297]

I used to like the G minor a lot more, preferring it's dramatic character. But the E flat is just as good, if not better. It's apparent lightness is just the surface level appearance. Both are masterworks.

[@enricochestri]

The modulations in the development section of the first movement are awesome! Bars at 7:02 sound like Brahms....And the Coda too is fantastic: pure inexorable tragedy, no chance of escaping..... . Exceptional, but the sound is too low. I can hardly hear the cello and the viola and sometimes not even the bass (left hand) of the piano....but I too have this interpretation on Philips CD.

[@bartjebartmans]

I checked again the sound volume, and it is just fine on my system.

[@enricochestri]

[@Jimyblues]

Seems like almost every time I do a search I end up here- thanks to Bartje for adding to my musicianship- But hearing no ornamentation during the repeats takes away from Mozart

[@papir4745]

Please can someone tell me what year was this recording made? 🙏

[@erika6651]

Am I the only one that prefers the E-Flat? The first movement has incredible warmth and beauty.

Mozart can be such a scamp. The false ending in K 478 is such a surprise. You're expecting complete resolution, then he plunges into the minor! Fooled ya! Must have made members of the original audiences belch! I love turning people on to him through this,

I don't understand how Google thinks it can sell bar-b-que equipment in the middle of Mozart' s music. And the manufacturer of said equipment is equally stupid to place such ads in this kind of music. Nobody is likely to pay any attention to such idiotic ads.

As Gould said:" If Mozart would've lived more he may develop a good writing technique away from all the opera gestures that surrounded his music." Apart from this Mozart had a truly great technique when it came to writing for strings and piano.

[@brianr.3085]

That's hilarious. Gould complaining about theatrical gestures knowing his theatrical, gesture-filled performances. Like a rabbit accusing others of having big ears. Mozart wouldn't be the same composer people know and love if there wasn't some opera in his instrumental music and these two pieces wouldn't be the masterpieces they are without the singable melodies played off against each other in delicate counterpoint.

[@bartjebartmans]

@@brianr.3085 Mozart wrote the g minor down in one day. probably while composing something else in his head. He was known to be working on several works at the same time. Imagine coming up with ideas while performing something else, or playing billiards.... riding in a carriage..... walking to some people, eternally hunting for money owed to him....As much as Gould was a pianistic genius he was nothing but a star in the Universe which is called Mozart.
