Enjoy two rare essential chamber works by the composer of 'Ein Deutsches Requiem'. The first is heroic and rigorous, while the second is a warm and luxurious dialogue between woodwinds and strings, ending with an intimate exchange between clarinet and cello.
The String Quintet No. 1 in B flat major, K. 174, was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in December 1773. Unlike Mozart's other viola quintets which are scored for two violins, two violas and cello- this early work is scored for two violins, two violas and basso.
