Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, K. 478, is considered the first major piece composed for piano quartet in the chamber music repertoire. The piece is scored for violin, viola, cello, and piano.
Mozart received a commission for three quartets in 1785 from the publisher Franz Anton Hoffmeister. Hoffmeister thought this quartet was too difficult and that the public would not buy it, so he released Mozart from the obligation of completing the set.
Hofmeister's fear that the work was too difficult for amateurs was borne out by an article in the Journal des Luxus und der Moden published in Weimar in June 1788. The article highly praised Mozart and his work, but expressed dismay over attempts by amateurs to perform it:
"[as performed by amateurs] it could not please: everybody yawned with boredom over the incomprehensible tintamarre of 4 instruments which did not keep together for four bars on end, and whose senseless concentus never allowed any unity of feeling; but it had to please, it had to be praised! ... what a difference when this much-advertised work of art is performed with the highest degree of accuracy by four skilled musicians who have studied it carefully."
The assessment accords with a view widely held of Mozart in his own lifetime, that of a greatly talented composer who wrote very difficult music.
At the time the piece was written, the harpsichord was still widely used. Although the piece was originally published with the title "Quatuor pour le Clavecin ou Forte Piano, Violon, Tallie [sic] et Basse," stylistic evidence suggests Mozart intended the piano part for "the 'Viennese' fortepiano of the period" and that, according to Basil Smallman, our modern piano is "a perfectly acceptable alternative."
Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat major, K. 493, was written nine months after Franz Anton Hoffmeister released Mozart from the obligation of writing three piano quartets, completing it on June 3, 1786

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.
Definitely some of the best works by Mozart.
The development is an incredibly beauty :)) 6:07
The E-Flat Major quartet is one of my favorite chamber works, and I like this performance of it.
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.
...beautiful is too little...come on!
the development sections in these works are just astoundingly good
Sublime works. Thank you for showing the scores.
The melody at 23:52 makes me so happy :)
The touch of this pianist is so richterian!
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.
+Nathan Brewer Boy did I get a surprise the first time I heard this.
Deceptive cadenza
Absolutely insane - I almost couldn't believe what I had just heard!
15:08 *Ese La bemol en el compás 12 en el piano, sin duda hace toda la diferencia y le da el toque emocional.*
Wonderful!
ich liebe diese beiden aufnahmen,weil hier sehr lebendig musiziert wird.die balance zwischen klavier und streichern ist ideal.vielen dank fürs hochladen.cristian
These are both great works.
I agree.
У Моцарта столько шедевров! Иные композиторы прославляются одной или двумя удачными вещами за всю жизнь.😁😁😁
What a genius...
thanks my friend.
22:48 *El tema del futuro rondó para piano en Re mayor KV 485 del mismo Mozart, apareciendo aquí.*
Whoa, great catch!
S. Stn. *Thanks!*
Siiiii yo vine a los comentarios a ver si alguien mas se habia dado cuenta.
oh wow!!
De hecho, ése tema es de Johann Christian Bach !
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.
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.
Well as a child, Mozart did meet Bach's youngest son. So I imagine that Mozart learned a thing from him.
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
Thank you so much x
51:28 the tension is just to overwhelming, what a beautiful piece.
Ah! Quantum; see the particles and the waves ? ( kidding )☺
I love Mozart, what a genius.
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
Bruno Giuranna is my viola teacher!!!! He is amazing!!!!!
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.
I checked again the sound volume, and it is just fine on my system.
@@bartjebartmans OK thanks, I just suppose one shouldn't listen to music on a computer or on a cell phone....
@@enricochestri headphones can help too.
K.478 is surely great, but K.493 is just as sublime.
Bientôt 30 ans que j'écoute K478, quelle œuvre ! J'avais acheté Rubinstein GD60406... je l'écoute sur le bon vieux SL-XP 240 avec mes SPA8210/12 que j'ai trouvées cette année pour 25 eur... idéal pour les vacances, juste bien les disposer... le son est incroyable pour un système si petit ! 😯
OUI...quelques heures plus tard j'ai photographié le jet d'eau au 200 mm depuis Lucinges...pff..."Rubinstein s'éteint le 20 décembre 1982, toujours jeune et plein d'humour mais presque aveugle, à l'âge de 95 ans, à Genève en Suisse." 10:01 !
Am I the only one that prefers the E-Flat? The first movement has incredible warmth and beauty.
Al fin mozaaart
👍
6:15 ❤️
...absolutely ❤❤❤🎹🎼
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,

These notes drop like meteors. The death is up to us. The trail

are you ok?
22:48 Rondo in D Major K 485
yeah its like the first bars of it but I think Mozart liked it a lot
Opening line of Larghetto K493 is almost implying Kreisler's Liebesfreud. Anyone?
0 - 14:30 so much in so little time...
The god ol answer the telephone 😂
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.
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.
@@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.
Glenn Gould admired Mozart's Adagio and Fugue in C minor K546 ruclips.net/video/yngstFiha3I/видео.html
@@bartjebartmans ...perfectly said!
I can't even stand that pseudo-pianist!😈
...Gould..who???

Menahem Pressler died today at the age of 99.
R.I.P.
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.
You can get an adblocker. Free, and it works. Really odd that advertisers can think that their unwelcome and vandalistic intrusions can lead to sales.
@@gervaisfrykman266 ...exactement! 👏👏👏
Did anyone else hear rondo in D
...of course...the theme is inserted in the last movement...amazing!
Me too
yeah ok

This sounds like Beethoven

Il y a chez Mozart un côté narquois et insolent que n a jamais Beethoven
