Mozart wrote these three pieces for string quartet in Salzburg in 1772. The three-movement Italian-style compositions require only wind parts to assume another form hence their common description as the 'Salzburg Symphonies.'This authoritative inexpensive edition of the ever-popular composer's works features three additional quartets: 'Spring ' 'Dissonance ' and 'Prussian No. 1' QuartetsDover Original.
