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.

In my opinion---all Mozart's mature quartets are the most beautiful quartets ever composed...and the daring slow opening of this quartet is looking 100 years forward...great performance, playing fast with energy and without much vibrato.

I was learning this with my friends in music college for the last two months and that was the best time I ever had studying here. We didn't know each other before but communication between us while playing made us think that we were besties even before we were born. Completely different feelings than sitting in orchestra or playing solo

still messes me up that the opening sounds shostakovich-y and also the DSCH motif being there too at 0:59. it's like mozart time traveled or something

That minor key introduction is probably my favorite part of the quartet if I’m being honest, but the rest of it is great too.

Magnificent. I first heard this quartet in college. The musician in residence at my dormitory played a record of it and I heard the beginning of the piece. Arnold Schoenberg maybe. No. The piece revealed itself to be Mozart. Astonishing.

Il finale del secondo tempo presenta un’intensità Unica!!! Il violoncello termina “ricordando” il terzo tema che caratterizza il pezzo…..: ASSOLUTAMENTE GENIALE, PERCHÉ INASPETTATO!…. Un’emozione suprema!…

My teacher assigned us quarters and I came to listen to ours. At first, I didn't like the idea of this piece. Mozart isn't my absolute favorite compared to other composers and neither is C Major. BUT when I listened to the minor opening I was immediately on board with it! Your quartet did absolutely beautifully!

I disagree with you. Most people - who are people - enjoy music like this. All “serious” music has always been confined to the few. Mozart churned out lots of “rubbish” for entertainment’s sake. All composers did (and do). He also produced remarkable work like this - work that challenges and rewards the listener who knows how to hear.

As someone who tends to prefer baroque or romatic to music of this time and, frankly, think of Mozart as an annoying show-off who often lacks emotional depth, I feel I need to give him another chance, maybe? This quartet is beautiful.
