Overview
Three outstanding works of the quartet literature in the second programme by the increasingly admired Korean ensemble. The only minor-key work in the set of six quartets the composer dedicated to Haydn, Mozart’s K421 is thought to date from 1783. The Mendelssohn work – his first mature quartet, despite its number – was nevertheless composed when he was just 18 and quotes his own song ‘Ist es wahr?’, deliberately recalling Beethoven’s famous ‘Muss es sein?’ question in his Op. 135 quartet.
This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
