Mozart returns to Casa Mozart. In the building where the great Salzburger was hosted in 1770, the wonderful Quatuor Hermès plays Mozart’s fifteenth Quartet, the second of the six that Mozart dedicated to his colleague Haydn and the only one in minor. The composer’s wife, Constanze, claimed that the piece was composed in 1983, largely during his labor, whose screams would later be evoked by the sudden forte of the Andante.
