This is an opportunity to study and enjoy a variety of chamber works drawn primarily from Mozart's "golden years" in Vienna from 1781-1791.

Across the span of the course, you will explore works that represent the three different "generic types" of chamber music that Mozart composed:

[*] Any chamber group consisting, in whole or in part, of a string quartet: two violins, a viola, and a cello.

[*] The "piano plus" combination: works for keyboard and some other instrument or instruments.

[*] Everything else: combinations that employ neither a string quartet nor a piano.

Featured as the centerpiece of this 16-lecture course is the set of six so-called "Haydn" string quartets that Mozart dedicated to his friend, the great Joseph Haydn.

Enjoy and seed!
