Program

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

(1756–1791)

Quintet in C major for Two Violins, Two Violas, and Cello, K. 515

(1787)
Quick Note

Quick Note

This quintet is one of Mozart's only two quintets for this instrumentation, composed in 1787 during a particularly fruitful period in his career, which also saw the composition of several other masterpieces, including his opera Don Giovanni and the Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor.

Listen for the interplay between the two violins, particularly in the opening Allegro movement, where they engage in lively dialogue, passing motifs back and forth. Pay attention to the expressive depth of the second movement, especially in the poignant melodies played by the violas.
