Mozart: String Quartet No. 19, Dissonance | Gewandhaus Quartet
Mozart with dissonances in a Baroque castle: The Gewandhaus Quartet played the String Quartet No. 19 in C major (K. 465), the “Dissonances Quartet” in the stylish ambience of the Rammenau Baroque Castle in 2005.

Mozart with dissonances in a Baroque castle: The Gewandhaus Quartet played the String Quartet No. 19 in C major (K. 465), the “Dissonances Quartet” in the stylish ambience of the Rammenau Baroque Castle in 2005.
(00:00) I. Adagio - Allegro
(10:00) II. Andante cantabile
(17:30) III. Menuetto - Allegretto
(22:44) IV. Allegro molto
To this day, the epithet “Dissonance Quartet” may be off-putting to some, but it may arouse curiosity in others. Some of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s contemporaries (1756 - 1791) thought that the String Quartet No. 19 in C major (K. 465) was faulty: either the notes were set incorrectly or the musicians simply were not playing it properly. Yet Mozart had composed the slow introduction of his 19th string quartet, to which the epithet refers, with the greatest sophistication. Before the main key of the quartet (C major) appears, the strings are “searching” for their actual target key, starting from C minor and wandering through transpositions and tonal frictions.
Mozart completed this unusual string quartet on January 14, 1785. It is one of the six “Haydn Quartets” that were written between 1782 and 1785 and were all dedicated to Joseph Haydn, whom Mozart admired. Haydn’s string quartets Op. 33 had inspired Mozart to write his six quartets. Haydn was even invited to the private performance at Mozart’s home – and is said to have been very impressed by his skill as a composer.
Mozart wrote a total of 23 string quartets, which, although not the focus of his immense oeuvre, remain among the most popular of their genre to this day. The Dissonance Quartet in particular is considered by connoisseurs to be a high point of European chamber music.
The Gewandhaus Quartet (also named Leipzig Gewandhaus Quartet) was founded in 1808 and is considered one of the first professional quartets in the world. It is composed of the soloists and concertmasters of the Gewandhaus Orchestra. Numerous premieres of quartets by renowned composers have been performed by the Gewandhaus Quartet.

The first of Mozart’s six ‘Haydn Quartets’: The Gewandhaus Quartet played the String Quartet No. 14 in G major (K. 387), ‘Spring’, in the historic surroundings of the Rammenau Baroque Castle in 2005.
(00:00) I. Allegro vivace assai
(07:18) II. Menuetto (Allegro)
(15:49) III. Andante cantabile
(23:02) IV. Molto allegro
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was 26 years old when he wrote his String Quartet No. 14 in 1782, after having moved to Vienna shortly before. String Quartet No. 14 is one of the six “Haydn Quartets” that were written between 1782 and 1785 in homage to Joseph Haydn, whom Mozart admired. Haydn’s string quartets Op. 33 had inspired Mozart to write his six quartets and he clearly showed his high regard for the older composer in the dedication of the “Haydn Quartets”, by writing: “al mio caro amico Haydn” (“to my dear friend Haydn”). It is unclear, how exactly the piece came to be referred to as “Spring”, but the quartet’s optimistic opening melody serves as a likely explanation for the nickname.
In a 1785 letter to his daughter Nannerl, Leopold Mozart - the famous composer’s father - recounted Joseph Haydn’s reaction to the string quartets. According to Leopold, Haydn is said to have pronounced the following judgment: “Before God, and as an honest man, I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by name. He has taste, and, what is more, the most profound knowledge of composition.”
It is said that Mozart finished String Quartet No. 14 on New Year’s Eve 1782. 352 days earlier, the year had symbolically opened with the premiere of Friedrich Schiller’s “The Robbers”, which turned the playwright into an overnight sensation and is considered a transitional work between the proto-Romantic ‘Sturm und Drang’ and the classical period. During the same year, another immensely influential poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published his most famous ballad, the “Erlkönig” (which was set to piano by Franz Schubert in 1815). It is within this context that Mozart’s “Spring” is perhaps best understood - as the musical counterpart to the poetic flight of fancy of a new age, and a cornerstone of the acceleration of the Classical style of literature and music occurring during this period.
The Gewandhaus Quartet (also named Leipzig Gewandhaus Quartet) was founded in 1808 and is considered one of the first professional quartets in the world. It is composed of the soloists and concertmasters of the Gewandhaus Orchestra. Numerous premieres of quartets by renowned composers have been performed by the Gewandhaus Quartet.
