This volume brings together Mozart's youthful attempts at this later so central genre of the string quartet: the astonishing “Lodi Quartet†K. 80 by the only fourteen-year-old composer, the three “Quartet-Divertimenti†K. 136-138 which are also readily played by chamber orchestras, and Mozart's first true string-quartet cycle K. 155-160 which was composed during his third (north-)Italian journey in 1772/73. Mozart's cleanly written scores of all the compositions have been preserved so that the edition stands on a secure foundation. In his informative commentary, Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, the experienced Mozart editor at G. Henle Publishers, devotes a separate, comprehensive explanatory section to the well-known articulation problem “dot or wedge.†The Armida Quartet provided artistic input for this edition.

Kennedy's first composition for string quartet was the result of a commission by Musica Reginae, although the composer was eager to write for such an ensemble, anyway. The Suite was entered under the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra's Project 440, where it garnered such comments as, Excitement, energy, beauty, craft are all here, and This composer definitely has the knack to write for strings. For advanced performers. Duration: 15'.
