Hi @curtan7, what my Professor explained to me when I studied this piece, is that when Mozart composed this work, his father did not like the 2nd movement (the Adagio you called the 4th movement) and made the young Mozart write it again. If you look at the original manuscript, you will notice how the first version of the 2nd movement was striked out, of course in a symbolical way, as it remained completely legible. Therefore what is now the 2nd movement of the quartett, is actually the 2nd version of it, and the "original" version is the Adagio I put in the end. What is written on the score in German roughly means "Addition to the 3rd Quartett".
Questo compositore ha un futuro!😉
MUSIC HAS SEMATICS !!!
The Minuetto is amazing and the Adagio is so powerful...
EARLY MOZART !
This is beautifully played
What about the 4th movement? I Thought was only 3 -- some words in german - what is it? Some postume work of Mozart? Did they find it later?
