Mozart’s Piano Quartets

Mozart’s Piano Quartets

With the internationally acclaimed fortepianist and Patron of Australian Baroque, Dr Geoffrey Lancaster AO, we present Mozart’s two sublime Piano Quartets KV 478 and KV 479—a form of chamber music invented by Mozart himself. Containing keyboard writing that was considered unplayable in Mozart’s time, these magnificent works are universally regarded not only as revealing the composer at his very best, but also as the ‘jewel in the crown’ of Mozart’s fortepiano chamber music.

Also on the program is Mozart’s rarely heard and inspiringly beautiful Rondo in F major KV 494 for solo fortepiano, written only seven days after Mozart had penned his second piano quartet.

This performance takes place within the Brett Whitely exhibition at the John Curtin Gallery.
