Description
This piano quartet started life as Mozart's piano duet, K. 521. John Cooley's arrangement of it for piano quartet is very successful, and brings this lovely piece into the hands of string players. The last movement seems to be a tribute to J.C.Bach, whom Mozart met in his youth, as it has a close thematic resemblance to one of Bach's piano duet movements in the same key.
