 I hope you are being sarcastic and are not as dumb as you sound. Kind of ironic too given that Mozart was hardly "upper class" himself...

Some Hungarians and Czechs have the tendency to take K516 as no.4 because of the numerical sequence of Kochel numbers, but chronologically it should be no.3.

K515, K516 were composed in April and May, 1787.

K406 is really K516b and it was an arrangement of wind octet K388 by Mozart at the end of 1788.

As you might know, there are many confusions in Kochel's catalogue numbers.

Me too. :)

[Salman Moyeen]

That would have been great.. But I am supposed to write a paper about it..

[kokoko9557]

Ask your professor.

[Salman Moyeen]

Can anybody please describle this music..such as mode, dynamic, tempo, pitch, timbre....

[David Melo]

Although I completely disagree with ilkinond's comment. Do you do have to keep in mind who Mozart's audience was. When he was writing music for the wealthy patron that commissioned it, I don't think he had in mind any peasants or laborers and whether any of them would ever hear his music. Chances are none of them ever did.

This one of Mozart's best! And the Amadeus Quartet w/Aronowitz provides the perfect execution. Love the b & w 1966 rendering - a timeless performance! Bravo!!

[Philip Frandsen]

This is a beautiful performance - I hope all enjoy it as much as I do!

I am late to this fancy dress party, I am afraid. I grew up with little money in a small town that nonetheless supported the fine arts. I grew up with little money, yet my mother somehow scraped together the funds to buy me a great violin; to drive me to concerts; to buy me the recordings I desired; and to eventually send me to the conservatory of my choice.

Taste is a matter of respect, passion, knowledge, and artistic inclination. You seem to have none of these characteristics.
