Quartet in F (K. 370) for oboe, violin, viola, and cello played by Leon Goossens (oboe) ; Jean Pougnet (violin) ; Frederick Riddle (viola) ; and Anthony Pini (cello)
Mozart's Quartet (K.370), written in Munich in 1781 for his friend, the oboist Friedrich Ramm , is serenade-like in character, though the D minor adagio sounds a graver note. Abert, the greatest modern authority on Mozart, draws attention to the richly varied recapitulation section of the first movement and remarks that' the final rondo, on a theme showing pronounced French influence, is made particularly attractive by the surprising and humorous way in which the principal subject always makes its appearance '.
