Mozart string quartet 15 in d minor k 421 (mov 4/4)

Quarteto Italiano
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's String Quartet No. 15 in D minor K. 421, the second of the Quartets dedicated to Haydn and the only one of the set in a minor key, is believed to have been completed in 1783[1] It is in four movements: 1. Allegro moderato
2. Andante (F major)
3. Menuetto and Trio (the latter in D major). Allegretto
4. Allegretto ma non troppo

The first movement is characterized by a sharp contrast between the aperiodicity of the first subject group, characterized by Arnold Schoenberg as "prose-like," and the "wholly periodic" second subject group.[2] In the Andante and the Minuet, "normal expectations of phraseology are confounded."[3] The main part of the Minuet is in minuet sonata form,[4] while "the contrasting major-mode Trio ... is ... almost embarrassingly lightweight on its own ... [but] makes a wonderful foil to the darker character of the Minuet."[5] The trio's melody, however, is used in the Suzuki method for violin, Volume 7. The last movement is a set of variations.

story has it, the emperor was at morning rehearsal. He said this quartet is very nice [or something-- i'll have to look it up] but that the ending is perhaps a bit gloomy for today's festivities; whereupon Mozart went over to the music tables and, on the last couples of f's on the viola part, wrote sharps, making the d-minor chords d-major
