Mozart: the Haydn Quartets by John Irving
John Irving, head of the music department at Bristol University, UK, offers a complete synopsis of the six quartets that Mozart dedicated to his friend Haydn. He sees them as a turning point in Mozart’s development and looks at various theoretical perspectives as well as the way the quartets were received at the time, by way of contemporary sources such as newspaper reports and Mozart’s own letters.
