MOZART'S STRING QUINTETS - Second OF TWO CONCERTS

The six Viola Quintets are rated by many critics as the very finest of his great output of chamber music. In this second concert, we have: K. 406 in c; K. 614 in Eb; and K. 516 in g.

The most popular of the quintets is probably K. 516, while the most advanced, complex, and even radical is K. 614  K. 406 is the string transcription of his fabulous wind octet in d minor, K. 388
