Mozart Flute Quartet K285: Allegro - Sergio Barrenechea

[beatlesopera]

Mozart said he disliked the flute but here it is very hard to believe.

A flute quartet regularly consists of a flute, a violin, a viola and a cello. That's tradition. There are only a handful of flute quartets for four flutes.

wouldny you think it would be called quartet for flute and violin cello and viola or something. because one just assumes it means for flutes, you know?

i understand the tradition thing i just dont understand why its the tradition.

lol

Teleman's chamber music for 4 flutes is called Flute Quartets also...

But... don't you think that discusing this is very stupid?

It is a bit confusing, but it is no different to the fact that a combination of piano, violin and cello is called a piano trio. With this piece, Mozart himself called it a flute quartet so who are we to argue I guess... :)

[darkhusker]

a flute quartet is made up of a flute, violin, viola, and cello because who in their right mind would want to listen to four flutes.

i really dont understand why this one is always called "flute quartet" theres only one flute!
