MOZART String Trios

Mozart's string trios are a significant part of his chamber music repertoire, showcasing his mastery in writing for small ensembles. Here are the details of the string trios composed by Mozart:

This Divertimento is one of Mozart's most substantial works for string trio (violin, viola, and cello), consisting of six movements that blend elegance, complexity, and emotional depth. It stands out as a masterpiece in the genre.
